For the past decade, I've told myself a story that I'm not very good at reading books. News articles, podcasts, emails, etc. fine but books - tricky for some reason!

Recently I started reading 'Robin', the fantastic biography by Dave Itzkoff. I am plodding along quite nicely, actually!

Turns out I can read books okay...

So! If you are struggling to get through a particular text, maybe it's just crappy material and you might be wise to move on to something more inspiring.

"Just persevere!" is great advice but, "Try something else!" is equally apt.
