Have you tried audiobooks? I felt the same way as you (enjoying the stories, but having trouble to read for more than a few pages) until recently. I've been listening to a few audiobooks lately and enjoying them greatly. Personally I tend to play video games (usually one that doesn't take too much focus) while listening to a book and find books quite enjoyable in this fashion.sanquin said:
Even though currently, I'm going through a dry spell concerning books. I read alot of books.
If it's a good read, I'll finish it faster than it's healthy to do so. >.>
I'm still waiting for the Mistborn quadrilogy to make it here.
Then I'll be on a reading binge again. ^_^

I'm never without a book, I carry four or five in my car at all times. No matter what I do there seems to always been a degree of waiting and I can't abide by waiting. So I read and read and read. I basically learned English reading science fiction novels in middle school and since then I haven't been able to stop myself from buying books any time I am able. Which was really often a few years back when I worked at a Walden Books...ahh those were the days, you know back when there were bookstores...
But, as is more often the case than not, the world moves on. Bookstores die, news papers die, magazines die. I maintain that it is not lack of interest but the ready, near to ever present availability of Kindle-like products and the growing tablet market. I have yet to put down my paper books for ones make of electronic something-or-other but I believe that all too soon I'll have no choice.

When I accidentally stumble into an interesting book. Which doesn't happen anywhere near as much as I might like.
