whenever i try to carefully read fiction i always get like max 10 pages in because i'm constantly over-analysing every sentence - does anyone struggle with this and know how to middle between close reading and still getting through a text?

my graduate visa just got rejected -- bc of a short diss extension on mental health grounds (5 days on top of the regular 5 days extension) my results have been delayed by 4 MONTHS, which is too late to be eligible for visa. Cambridge's office says they can't do anything abt it??
