I tend to start a lot of books at the same time and have a hard time finishing them.

I couldn't decide on which of the following are the biggest so I decided to write all. The first two sort of link in that I have impaired vision that is steadily worsening and I don't have a lot of spare time.

So when I do, due to poor eyesight, it's a lot of steps to get everything comfortable for me if I'm reading on an electronic device. If it's a physical book, it's an incredibly slow process (I have a magnifying sheet). Pretty much at the start of my free time, my brain is already exhausted and I'm simply out of energy. Made worse that I'm in severe pain pretty much every day which makes it difficult to find a comfortable reading position or concrete.

The last is I generally want to discuss the books I read but a lot of books-related communities I find have a very snobbish attitude. So if I do manage to read, I'm left with a strong urge to discuss the book/s that gets bottled up because I don't want to deal with an elitist attitude.

The biggest issue with reading is finding the time to do it. If I could, I would read the whole day, but work, family and responsibilities make that difficult. I am able to manage a decent amount of reading in spite of that, so I am grateful.

My biggest problems are my disorders... also I can't read more than 4-5 chapters..... Or else I get exhausted. So I have to take a break, wish I could read longer than just 4 or 5 chapters. :c

This is my biggest issue! I feel like I rarely have the time to read and this really sucks.

My biggest problem with reading is reading fine prints. I hate small font in books. For me, the larger the font, the more easier it is to read what is written, especially for persons who wear glasses.

I am a voracious reader; always have been. My problem now is that my tastes in reading are changing and I haven't settled on a new genre that I especially like. It's very frustrating.

My biggest issue with reading is that my neck can get really sore. I tend to look down for really long periods of time when I read. I also wish books were rated better, more like movies I mean. With like a PG or something. Not to limit who can read it, just to give proper warning.

I used to work long overnight shifts that were not very eventful. I would often read an entire book a night. Gosh I hated the kink in my neck.

My biggest problem with reading is not having enough time to read what I want. With school and everything else that life brings, there seems to be very little time to sit down with a good book.

Biggest book pet peeve I have is where a fantasy book series ends up with way too many books of the series. That makes it hard to keep up when youre still reading the first 3 books and then all of a sudden there's like 14 more books or whatever to read

My biggest problem is getting through the beginning of books. The beginnings are probably my least favorite parts, even though I still love them, but I like to get to the action and "meat" of the novel.

I have been retired now for two months. I thought that I would be able to read and read whenever I want and all day if I so desire. Alas, that is not the case. I have discovered that I now have a new title....Official dishwasher. Yep, chores are getting in the way of my reading time. I am managing to get in some good reading but it's so hard to have to put down the great book I am reading to do chores. I am able to read more than I did when I was working which is a big positive....there are just so many wonderful books I want to read.

I completely lose focus of my surroundings when I read. I lose track of time, often can't even hear my name being called. I remember being reprimanded by my teacher in elementary school when I kept on reading after class began. I hadn't even noticed!
