I find it hard to always get immediately absorbed in a book, mainly because I always feel like I'm such a time-constraint in life. There's a million things I want to do and never enough time to do them.

This is also partially my problem to committing to a new book. Once I get started it's usually no problem unless the book really sucks, which after giving it a few chapters I will quit, but if it's an engaging piece of literature I will finish it quickly and with pleasure. I guess I experience procrastination with books just because I feel that there is so many other things I can be doing that actually require a little less effort.

TIL: The human brain can be such a dick.
