I am the same, I found a book I could hyper focus on. That was the Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness

I was so fully pulled into that world I was quite sad once I got to the end because I know I'm not probably never going to find a book like that again.

I do this with most texts I have to read each sentence 3-4 times because I know I will have made up half of the words I just read.

I have the same issue with my brain not really thinking about the current situation, if I'm talking to someone I will get bored in a minute or two and it's a real effort to force myself to pay attention.
