Anybody else find reading difficult?
« on: 20 August 2011, 11:35 »
I am wondering here as I cant seem to read books......Everybody I know reads books with ease, I read the first page and think 'I am bored'

What is strange is I can read up on say Golf GTI's for hours on our forum.  Only other thing I read about on the net is dogs (I am a huge dog lover, especially German Shepherds!)  and Anabolic Steroids  (Been into bodybuilding for years so this is of great interest)

Give me any book fact or fiction and I will be bored within 2 minuets and put it down with the intention of coming back and reading it but it just sits there and gathers dust!!

Please say there are others like me!!

Steroids, so you want to be bold, become infertile and have an odd shaped body  :undecided:

Otherwise no i dont like reading too much, just wait for the film.

I cant get to sleep without reading for a bit whilst lying in bed. Sad but true! Try an autobiography by someone you like to start off with. Those are usually the ones I read late into the night as I cant put them down! Not everyone enjoys reading, its just what interests you I suppose. I have been like that with many books, and now I only have a select few authors who I can read. Apart from autobiographys, I can only read crime/thriller fiction books.

I would recommend Lenny McClean - Govner. If your into bodybuilding, power, fighting, and general brutality! - Awsome!

In pretty much the same, I enjoy reading reference books more than stories.

Much rather pick up a photography reference book than a novel. I do read a lot of magazines as well. I also find it very difficult to watch films, staying in one place for over an hour causes me problems!

I'm the same, I'll read factual books and manuals but any other books I won't get more than first page in partly boredom which goes in hand with lack of concentration.

Lots of hype bud!!  The media puts a terrible name on them. I have used them on and off for 11 years with no sides, well a bit of acne and a very high sex drive.  I started reading about them over 20 years ago and now I am a moderator on a Bodybuilding website.  The interesting thing is the in the States they are finding small amounts of Testosterone given every 2 weeks via IM are proving to be far more effective then anti-d's.  It is called 'TRT' which stands for 'Testosterone Replacement Therapy'  It really is shocking if many of us guys were to get bloods done for Test levels and see where they range on the scale, normally very low thus the low motivation, erectile dysfunction, poor sex, low strenth, low moods.....It is shocking to find out how we are effected.

On the other hand!!  I am like you bud.....I wait for the film!!

Seanl......  The legend L.Mclean!  I met him nearly 10 years ago, true gent, very sad when he passed away.  I like my Bodybuilding and I teach Kickboxing so may have to look into some autobiography's....I dont think Tyson has one out, could be wrong, as he is someone I have admirred for years.....Read heaps about him on the net and watched every fight he has had, well almost every fight!
