I’ve “read” entire chapters without absorbing a single word. It’s amazing to reread them and realize, yep, I didn’t catch any of this.

Convo I had last night
Friend: "The the the the the... thing! That's right, the thing."
Me: "Can you say that again? You took too long to get to the point and now I don't remember the rest of the statement."
Friend: "Hey fuck you man!"

Friend: "Oh, yeah sure <the previous statement, without delays>"
