I’m curious to know of any tips that might improve reading comprehension.

I’m currently in college and have been reading a lot more then I used to, but I believe I could improve my comprehension rate. I’d be most interested in any tips that will help me get through reading material which is not from a modern writer (i.e. Plato, Aristotle, Kant).

Any general reading/comprehension tips will also be greatly appreciated!

My husband’s mother was given 5-10 years (about a year ago). She had ****** cancer 9 years ago. Then last year they found some on her spine.. and then in a shocking night she had a stroke and they found massive amounts of brain cancer (3 golf ball size and one the size of a man’s palm.. the doctor told us). They were able to remove it.. but since it had gotten that far they gave her 5-10 years. I heard it can be less than that (my father has worked in the medical field and said that might be generous).

I would ask my father but his mother died of cancer and it’s touchy. I can read on the internet what happens medically.. but I’m more interested in the non-medical happenings. What are the signs that the person is dying of cancer? Will their mind go? Body be too weak? Will we know it’s happening or one morning will she just not wake up?

If anyone has had a similar experience with these types of cancer please tell me how long it took also.. and the things they noticed…
BTW.. the spine/bone cancer came a little over a year ago.. we don’t know how long the brain cancer was there.. but that was removed about 8 months ago. That is when she was given 5-10. Now she has gone through a lot of chemo and radiation.. and having trouble walking a bit.. having trouble recovering from one of the radiations she had on her hip. She also seems a little different… sometimes a little out of it..

I have this issue a lot. I start a book, find another, never go back to the old one. Same with other things. It can apply to anything. I just need a good psychological view on it that will explain why this happens and how to fix it.

good book
