It is certainly possible that you have lost the ability to focus, but why not try this much more straightforward explanation first: you didn&#x27;t like the last couple of books you&#x27;ve read, which is why had trouble finishing them. It is absolutely not uncommon to go from &quot;ugh, I&#x27;m not in the mood for this book&quot; to &quot;hmm, this story just doesn&#x27;t seem to be going anywhere&quot; to &quot;well I could&#x27;ve written something twice as good as this&quot; before hitting on a book that aligns with what you&#x27;re interested in reading at that very moment. Try to read something different. Follow recommendations from other people. Don&#x27;t read something because you feel you have to.
