Could anyone help? Give some tips? I really want to read Capital, then move on to stuff like State/Revolution, Governance, etc.

I'm not really a fan of audiobooks (mostly because they're so monotone feeling... maybe I've not found the right ones?), but if I can't figure anything else out, I might go down that road.

My main issue is really just focus. I'll read a few paragraphs and enjoy it, then as I continue I slowly start drifting, no longer understanding the text, rereading over and over...

Anyways, I imagine some of you may have had this problem before, with how the internet and social media fucked our attention spans and all. Maybe if I could ever read Capital and all that, I could make comprehensive video versions for those like me...

Thanks in advance.

    Different game, but this is exactly how I "read" theory

    For anyone else trying this, add a keyboard shortcut to skip back a minute or two. This way when you run into complicated passages or if the game requires a spike of attention you can easily repeat until you feel comfortable to move forward.

    Also, for Capital in particular, it gets much easier to pay attention once you get past the linen and coats section. If you feel like you get the gist of that part I'd say skip forward
