With fiction novels (or even creative non-fiction, although still easier and more enjoyable), yes. I'm just unable to focus on actively understanding/forming links and interpretations in storylines and plots because I'm either not in the mindset to do so or don't have the patience. I don't really have issues reading non-fiction stuff on topics that I'm interested in like extracts from Global Health law textbooks, Developmental economics or Neuroscience book (which aren't related to my university studies). I'm find that I'm better at taking in knowledge and information nowadays (which can probably be attributed to studying at university).
For fictional stuff, I really enjoy TV shows (currently binging on Suits, I also enjoy screenwriting and creative non-fiction writing as well) because it takes significantly less effort to make links between events and characters (and I just have better memory when I see things). Because I don't have to do as much active understanding what is happening, I can focus on emotionally responding and relating to the characters (which is what I'm better at doing) as well as interpreting grey areas (I like having to do so a bit but I'm don't enjoy having to do a lot of it in fiction novels) .
