Has anyone noticed or is experiencing a hard time or loss of interest in reading for long?

Because of my slow motor skill’s from my Epilepsy and medication, I won”t read anything big novels. My wife can read A 2-3 books in 2 weeks. It also depends how big the novel is. If it was me It would take me month.

The only time I may ready a book or article, is if it’s something I’m researching or a subject f interested.

If I can find a documentary on TV on the same subject, I go that route
