Catching up on my readings I am not addicted to books. However, I've been trying to change it step by step. I've heard a lot of people saying "If you're willing to increase your vocabulary, you must read more books". I am doing my best to spend hours stuck on reading, but for someone who has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) it's a challenge. (While I was writing the first lines I stopped it twice, I went to walk around my house and minutes later I came back to finish it). Anyway, I am trying to read children books (if you have any suggestion or want to share your favorite book, go ahead and write it below on the commentaries) because they are easy reading, and probably I won't spend hours on reading. My daily routine is very confusing. I like to play the guitar, make up songs, learn different things such as painting, graffiti, programming (mainly games), running (rarely), and so on. Maybe you're asking yourself "hey, if you have ADHD how is that possible that you're doing all those things? Well, I don't do all those things at the same time, but I mix some activities (which is pretty confusing, right?). When I am listening to music I take a book, I read few lines and move on to watch a movie or series (I've been watching Mr.Robot, Fear the Walking Dead, Suits, etc.), later I open a new webpage, and in the meantime I talk to friends on cellphone. I mean, I can't focus on all those things, but when I look at the watch, time has passed or gone by and I haven't finished all the things I've started. What I usually do is simple, I save these tasks for tomorrow, however tomorrow I'll save more tasks in a way that I will certainly accumulate tasks that I'll never finish. I tried to read bestsellers or famous books such as "1984", "Slaughterhouse 5" or "How to kill a mockingbird" but these books are hard and boring (all right, they aren't boring. When I finally understand them, they won't be boring anymore). I mean, there are a lot of expressions that I've no idea what they mean, it's really boring stop my reading to look up in the dictionary a meaning, besides that I am always willing to stop my reading, you know why (feel free to share how did you get motivated when you find a lot of unknown words in a book written in another language). So, I am here sharing my thoughts on books, nonetheless I'll talk briefly about my favorite song. It's an old song, but when I wake up I usually listen to it: THE KINKS: WATERLOO SUNSET https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZZEJvwdmLs

Try reading wuthering heights but the abridged version which have pictures in it And the little women by Louisa May Alcott , great expectations by Charles Dickens But read the abridged versions of these books it will be easy for you to read the abridged versions, Try reading The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde The curious case of Benjamin Franklin by F.Scott Fitzgerald I read these books when I was in school. Hope you read them and you'll surely find these interesting and easy. :)
