#AskSwell | Today’s Bookworm’s Dilemma: Are You Able to START and Finish a Book These days?🤔
Hey, this is Erica Bumba's book pick, and this topic is actually a segue from the topic me and Ms. Coles had recently when I was talking about the book stolen focus. In the book Stolen focus, the author mentions that a friend of his who is a known bookworm, she lamented that she now can only read like the first two chapters of a book before she tried move on to the next book. Her attention span has gotten shorter and shorter, just like all of us

Whereas before are we had time to sit down and read a book, we didn't have social media and other things occupying our time the way we do now. So we were able to sit down and read a book. In fact, that's what we did when we were bored, we would sit down and read a book. Now we're having to make time to read books because our lives just seem so hectic and busy

I'm reading a book about Emily Dickinson now because I've always wanted to know just a little bit more about that american poet. And so I'm reading her book now as an ebook. And then I do have the physical Sci-Fi book that I'm reading, but at least I have just those in my face and the other ones are put up until I have to take them out

Hey, good morning, Erica. Al Cosby, as always, say, stay blessed and keep inspiring. Again, another excellent and great topic from you. Always enjoy listening to you as well whenever I have the opportunity. Definitely today's bookworm dilemma. This, again, is just a great one

And even someone like me, who proclaims to love books, and I do, I absolutely do, I find that sometimes, and it's happening more often, my focus is being stolen because I'm checking on my phone or I'm hopping on my laptop to do something, or I'm excited about a book, but I'm excited about ten books at once, and I don't finish either one, so. Yeah, but thank you so much for your perspective, and you take care

I'm trying to condense for myself, so I'll take a break on books. But I think for me, that has worked and helped me finish on nonfiction, fiction is a little bit harder. I haven't really got to jump on that yet, because I think that's thing. If you want to get stuff from fiction, like reading end to end is something you probably have to get the most out of what you're reading

There's different doctors talking about it and professors, they have the diagrams up and telling us where we're headed in the future as far as diabetes medication and technology. So I haven't read about that yet. So far, I've seen it on social media. So that's pretty great. It's fascinating. Now, as far as fiction, I'm a person who enjoys fiction a lot because I grew up reading romance novels, first and foremost, romance novels
