I could never have the desire or interest to sit down and actually go through a chess book lol. I'll skim but spending a lot of time digging through variations with a board? No thank you.
Most people nowadays lack the attention span, agreed.
I think it's something to do with the effect of the hormones added to meat.

Oh, no - I have more than a sufficient attention span. Just not for a board game that has nothing riding on the line. The outcome means nothing. That's not the kind of thing I would pour my attention into. Obviously.
If you consider it more than a game you can get to 2000... At least I believe most 2000s would consider it a passion of theirs, not a board game one plays solely for enjoyment.
Good Chess Books for Beginners and Beyond...

"Zürich 1953" Bronstein
I got to a peak of 1763 USCF and I only Completed reading one book:
Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess.
I own lots of books. Read 10 pages or so, and never finish them. I'm an idiot.
The World According to Garp by John Irving or more recently Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.
