I have been trying to get into reading. I have read a couple of books so far in 2026, but still, when I look back, I realise that I haven't learnt something that stays with me forever. I don't understand where I went wrong. How do you guys maintain reading efficiently and retaining it?

I keep on watching numerous videos on reading, book suggestions, author's life etc etc, but reading comes up as a difficult task for me.

Help would be appreciated.
