Not so much that, as having trouble sticking with one book all the way through before picking up another. I won't try to count how many I'm part way through right now. Although I generally do finish them eventually.
Last one I finished was a fairly short one, The Voyage of Argo (or The Argonautica) by Apollonius of Rhodes, English prose translation by E.V. Rieux. Interesting portrayals of Jason and Medea in particular. All the characters seem very human, even when one can't help but notice the differences in attitudes between their society and ours.
What I'm really having trouble with is watching TV. Well, I got rid of Netflix and Amazon Prime, don't have cable TV, and can't get any TV channels with a regular or electronically amplified antenna. But I do have lots of DVDs, and there is still plenty of free internet video content. I'll watch the occasional news clip if it will help illustrate a written story, and I put on YouTube music videos, but I stopped watching an episode of Twin Peaks on DVD in the middle a couple of weeks ago, and haven't wanted to watch anything since. Not sure why, just feel this disinclination to watch anything. At least I can read, even if I don't finish.
Actually, I recall watching a movie on TV at some friends' house last week, but we had the fun of talking about it while it was going. And yes, I am way off the topic of this thread.
