I'm not interested in thinking hard. Much of this has to do with having an underactive thyroid. I was not diagnosed until July 2014, but I am certain that I have had this condition my entire adult life. The condition escalated in the last five to seven years to where I finally realized that something was wrong.
I mention this because an underactive thyroid causes a lack of motivation and problems with memory. When reading books, this has made me impatient with convoluted plots and stories that have too many characters. I don't have it in me to want to keep track of detailed plots, especially if the plot is slow to develop. I do still have the ability to do so, but long-term mental and physical tiredness going back five to seven years has caused me not to want to put forth the extra effort. Reading should be fun, not a tiresome chore. I often read when I am tired, so my reading has to be enjoyable and effortless.
