If you want a wild ride, read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Not only will you reread the same sentence for over 40 minutes, it’ll never make a lick of sense. Ever.

Funny that you mention it, I was reading that book mere minutes ago! Always loved the movie as a kid and only recently got myself the first book. The style is so... odd, wacky, absurd, hilarious, that I just gotta keep reading

I use audio books to take up bandwidth when I'm working. A lot of what I do on a daily basis is pretty routine so they keep me on task like nothing else
That's a lot of what I need to do. I need something to keep my mind busy while I do stuff or I become overwhelmed with task management.

I mostly listen audiobooks for that reason. Oddly I have friends that are ADHD that can't focus on an audio book but can read without a problem.
I used to do that but i noticed that i remember almost nothing from audiobooks compared to reading since i'm always doing other stuff while listening and a book locks me in that moment cause i don't have a choice but to give it my full attention. Also i always put a song on repeat for each book or series to really connect the memory of the book to a song and i can listen to it years later and everything comes back

Yeah I'm that way. My brain tunes out the speaking but if I'm actively engaged in a book I can do it. Depends on the book too.

My AuDHD brain used to do both as a kid…
...Au as in Gold?

As a kid I was enthralled. As a current adult, I do both, and the battle is tiring.

What?
There's a few paragraphs in he first book, where Arthur and Ford Prefect are trapped inside the machines of the Heart of Gold's improbability drive, that is really just bonkers and confused the hell out of me. But the rest of the books was perfectly fine to read. -

I'm currently studying for a network certification: 540 pages where I alread know like 70% of the content but am missing some specific (and important) details. Having to go through all of this without loosing focus and thus missing those details is... challenging, to say the least.

Sec+ was kinda doable for me (passed with 84% a month ago) but only because its a topic that actually interests me. Networking, especially subnetting, however has been an achilles heel of mine for 20+ years though...
I wouldn't know how/where to evem start if it wasn't for some pretty amazing youtube tutors (looking at you, Professor Messer^^). Reading is a nightmare but watching videos and doing practice questions/exams kinda works for me... I basically:
- watch the whoöe topic once
- do all the comptia practice questions
- identify the areas where I drop under 80% success
- watch those (and more) videos again
- rinse & repeat until the last week
- switch to practice exams for the last week
- hope for the best
I'll only know by the end of next week if this works out, though...

I really need to do the same tbh. I've had my Sec+ (going to be renewing it for the second time here soon) but i just have absolutely zilch on the networking side of the house and I'm not happy about it

Just wait until you start reading The Restaurant at the end of the Universe, and he starts talking about the Time Traveler’s Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations.

My ADHD makes it so I can't read books for shit anymore, even though I would go through several every week as a kid. For anyone else having this problem, one thing that sometimes helps me is to listen to someone read the text while reading along. This could be an audiobook, but there's also an extension for Firefox called "Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader" to get through pdf files.

As someone with both, it's either feast or famine, depending on how interesting my brain finds it.
I read nearly cover to cover the National Electric Code because I wanted to rewire my house and I found the standards fascinating.
I could not read through my AWS training materials because AWS is boring AF.
