books and my thoughts

i often feel that when i'm reading i have trouble focusing on and processing the text so severely that when it comes time to recall what it was i even read or how i felt about it in the moment my mind comes up blank. the goal of this page is to serve as an incentive for me to be more aware and present in what i read by processing my feelings and thoughts into written text. i've attempted to go back and write a bit for things i've already finished but oftentimes they are a blur unless they really stood out so as you scroll down things may become less and less detailed
