Can I finish this Reading?

I am actually posting this as I am in the middle of the reading because honestly, I can't seem to get through it. I am seriously zoning out constantly during the reading. I do know that there are two brilliant people of their time questioning a lot of occurrences on earth, the universe, and existence. I don't know if other people do this, but when I am given a lengthy reading assignment, it is nearly impossible for me to get through it and understand whats going on because my mind is thinking about 10 things at once and I can't focus on the reading if I'm not totally interested in it. I also started wondering if this assignment was given as a way to see who actually would really read all of this! I will try to go back and get through some more of this but honestly I don't think I will finish it. I wish I was more interested in the subject but maybe once people explain it in class tomorrow I will have more interest in what the reading is trying to say.
