take your book to the library, or at least somewhere out of your home and with less distractions and read there.

Maybe find a book you enjoy enough to read a lot at once? Canticle for Leibowitz is engaging so I'd recommend that. Ignore anons to say you can only read classics. It seems like you need to establish a reading habit before you can tackle the harder stuff. It takes time so be patient with yourself. >>17325327 is also good advice. The most important thing is to stick with it.

This.
Plus if you really need to, stimulants such as >>17325240
suggested will help.

Shamatha meditation, anon. A lot of it. That's the only cure.

please stop saying that, it is neither funny nor clever, just cringe, absolute cringe.
