How do you make reading a boring and hard to understand book fun and something you want to do, or at least not a chore? And how do you retain the information and focus on such a book?

Good question! What I would do is to take a maximum of 15 mins to read the book, not more. Then I’ll try to analyze or understand what the book tried to say for those 15 minutes. Remember that this should be fun thing, and it shouldn’t feel like a chore! Take your time and don’t rush it 🙂
