No need to get all cerebral and plan an attack or anything. Just read shit you're interested in and you'll finish it. Don't be a backseat driver in your own head about how slow or fast you're going. Just read.

That said there are times when I can't focus enough and just can't find a fuck to give. And there are times (like this week) when I can plow through a book a day.

And you're going to forget a lot of what you read no matter how interested you are in the story. That's just how brains work.
