If you get the stuff in audiobook form, it’s a good time to pick up miniatures. While assembling a Malifaux miniature, I listened to quite a bit of a podcast.
I’ve had this playlist of lectures from David Harvey called “Reading Marx’s Capital” bookmarked for a long time but haven’t cracked it open yet. it might be up your alley!

Learning how to actually read books takes practice, you don’t just start being able to read well with attention just because you know how to convert words into thoughts in your brain. That would be like starting to play the piano and going for Bach, you’re still on chopsticks.
you gotta read books eventually. You gotta start with smaller books. Marxists.org has a lot of letters and pamphlets written by important thinkers, I started reading them when I was in high school and that allowed me to start branching out to longer texts. Personally recommend Lenin’s Working Class and Bourgeious Democracy, Marx’s Wage Labor and Capital, also Value Price and Profit is good.im fine with pamphlets and shorter text usually, with bigger books i constantly catch myself skimming through them or losing my train of thought
Socialism For All on YouTube does a ton of narrations for Marxist works, some short pamphlets and some entire books with everything in between:

I also have ADHD and struggle with it. Although I’m lucky(?) to be autistic too, which balances out the ADHD traits at least when the autism and ADHD are working together rather than against each other.
Not to go all Russell Barkley on you but ADHD is very interest-based, so you’ll probably find that you’re not going to be able to just read theory or history because you’ve decided that you’re going to. But if you follow where your interest takes you, you might find that you’re much more inclined to read a book because you’ll have internal motivation to read it.
That means chasing rabbit holes and going where your brain drags you to rather than choosing what you’re going to read next.
Don’t forget to check out audiobookbay for lots of audiobooks. The search function on that site is a kinda garbage so hit me up if you’re looking for a particular audiobook and you’re struggling to find it there.
Edit: You might also appreciate the podcast Actually Existing Socialism (available on your podcast app or on YouTube); the host speaks to academics mostly about their scholarship on topics so you can get a good summary of books that these academics have authored without actually having to read the books themselves.
thank you for the advice
I edited my comment just after you replied but you might appreciate the podcast Actually Existing Socialism. See the comment above for more info.
ty that sounds like a good podcast
