I know this post wasn't meant to be funny, but those two sentences really made me laugh.peacedove said:
Time management/career books tend to be duller'n crap; Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and stuff about the Black Daliah case aren't. Don't beat yourself up for not being able to concentrate on something that is boring as all hell. Some people may be able to do it, but they probably aren't people who post here.
There are ways of making tedious subjects interesting. A good writer should be able to make, say, "The History of Cement" a great read. Check out the first page or two of the subject you're interested in. If your mind wanders by the second sentence, toss it aside and try another. If you've tried every book you can find and still hate 'em all, it could be that your goal doesn't interest you quite as much as you had hoped. God knows I've been thru that often enough.
I hope you got thru the second sentence of this post.
