What's assigned stops me from reading what I want to and what I want to read stops me from reading what's assigned. The absolute worst of my bad habits is the inability to either complete or stop thinking about large unpleasant tasks. I'm fine when there's tons of them: crisis management mode kicks in and the mountains fall. But right now there's Uncle Tom's Cabin, which, though not as bad as Ruth Hall (according to several of Newton's laws of matter), is frequently intolerable. And puts me out like a light, I've never experienced anything like it. I guess I'll have to learn to skim again. I'm spoiled in a lot of ways, but years of deciding my own reading has murdered me as a student. Also, I'm 30. Give me facts, or something great, or something astonishing. I can't take these simplified forms and issues, these cliches. Mediocrity minus novelty is hell.
