Hi there...a bit down here. Newbie PHD candidate.
Its the day that you start off with full throttle motivation and a mind set on a specific subject, u collected some papers on the said subject and most of them are so poorly written u waste your time to understand.
Is this normal??
Absolutely normal. Slowly by experience quality of the papers would improve.
Subir is quite correct if it's papers you're writing.
I suspect you're concerned about papers you are reading. If so, it's a different story. Here, what seems boring today may see an exciting wild beast this time next! That excludes anything by J S Mill which, whilst insightful, will forever be boring!
Things get more interesting the more you see how they fit with your thoughts: both for and against. Have an idea what you're thinking on a subject, read stuff to find out if you're correct. Agreement is encouraging, the opposite should make you think more deeply. It's frustrating, but vitally important. NEVER dismiss something because you don't like it! Work out why that is. Afterall, it just might be right!
