Why do I suck in reading Technical (e)books? - My analysis about myself

This article is to analyse about myself with the hope that it changes my perception about ebooks.

I think the primary reason why I am sucking so much in completing an ebook is , I am not thinking/feleing anything about the book I want to read.

Why am I able to read thousands of pages of fiction and why not technical stuff?

When I am reading a P.G.Wodehouse book, I anticipate pleasure. Where as when I start a technical (e)book, my aim all these days was just to complete it irrespective of number of pages.

Today, during my travel in cold air on bike at about 3:30 am in the morning I got a strong feeling that I must anticipate something from the book I am starting to motivate my self to complete it.

So, when I start an ebook or for that matter any book, I must be clear as to what I expect out of that book. Is it pleasure? Is it some new skill ? or Is it just to kill time!

Once my objective is clear, I feel I can cruise through the entire text ( whether fiction or tech stuff or some random god damn paper). Only thing I must make sure is, I must remind myself about the objective in reading a particular book everytime I come back to it. Most importantly, I must make sure that I must return to the book that I left though my mind protests the idea.

I am sure this will help me in achieving what I always wanted to achieve.

Being fanatic about technology!
