Is it normal to start reading a book but then suddenly realize that you have no idea what's going on in the plot because you have been reading the words but ignoring their meaning?

Happens way too often to me.

Used to be the case for me, I used to love reading books when I was younger but the stories never stuck with me because I was too used to reading quick. Nowadays I read much slower but I appreciate them so much more!
