yes I have a problem with very long texts too.
Often I will not even read in the conventional sense, word by word, but only let my eyes fly over the page and see if I can find resonance.
if it resonates, I can sort of download the text and make sense of it.
if it doesn't, then it is very hard to make anything of it.
I think it has not so much to do with the words themselves, more with the intention behind the words, or the ideas that are being conveyed, or with a way of thinking that is expressed in the text and that is foreign to me.
here, Depeche Mode got it right when they sang
"words are very unnecessary"
