When reading i forget the first sentence as soon as i start reading the second one, even when i take my time and try and think about what i'm reading.

Many possibilities &: most likely what is happening stems from a combination of 2 issues: (a) internal emotional distraction (fear/anger/confusion, etc) about big life issues important to you (thus difficulty relating to/focusing on meaning of characters/words/issues outside; on paper) & (b) the subject matter has little emotional interest/meaning/relationship to what you are familiar with in your life, so far.
