I love to read but this past year I get distracted so easily - it has to be totally quiet late at night and then I might fall asleep instead.

They work for inducing sleep in me.

I think my issue with reading has more to do with my eyes, which probably has more to do with getting old then anything MS-related.

Inspirational books, like "Climbing Higher" (Montel Williams) or "My Journey Back to Life" (Lance Armstrong), seem to keep my attention. I think they made the words in large print for a ME!

No more Harlequine Romance for me . . . I find fantasy depressing now. Ho-hum . . .

YES - exactly what you said.

I used to read CONSTANTLY and now I miss it and try - but cannot seem to finish a book. I just recently bought yet another book - the one Oprah is currently pushing - looks to be a WONDERFUL book - but after a week, I am still on the first few pages - around 30 or 40. It is a good book but I have so much trouble understanding and / or more so - just being able to follow the flow of the book. And constantly losing my place and re-reading the same paragraphs over and over. It is this way with all books I try to read. Everything I try to sit and read seems to be beyond my comprehension if I get beyond just a few paragraphs...

I am determined to finish this book somehow.
