I've had a hard time with GEB too. Tried a few times. I felt ashamed because my progress was more in the tens than over a hundred.
Writing style is important for me too. I can complete a narrative, story-style book in 2 days. I can't complete a non-fiction book in that time that's half the size. My favourite books are ones that set out to teach something practical in the form of a story (like The Goal).
I have finished non-fiction books. They tend to be fast paced and immediate with what I want out of them. To the point.
In general, that fits with the ADHD type i.e cut the bullshit and get the point!
