Is it normal to start reading a book but then suddenly realize that you have no idea what's going on in the plot because you have been reading the words but ignoring their meaning?

Happens way too often to me.

edit: I had no idea this was such a common issue!

I've absolutely read a book, thought it was a bit predictable, got to the end and realised I've read it before 🤦

Lol that's hilarious and sad at the same time

In my defence there was about 15 years between readings. But still pretty bad lol

I've bought duplicate CDs in the past as well...

Watched movies with an odd sense deja Vu with the same conclusion.

Basically, I'm rounding out the bell curve for the rest of you lot to look good. It's not much, but it's honest work...
