I am a huge procrastinator. I love reading and learning things too. I remember being little and ordering everything from Scholastic too! But as I got older, my patience grew thin and my ability to focus is non-existent.
Focus, I think that's the key. Also I have noticed smaller books work. If the book is less than 100 pages I can get through it. And the last book I read was by a blogger who turned her blogs into a book, and it was about bipolar.
Try smaller things first, that's the best advice I can give, and if you come up with a better solution let me know! I am dying to read my books too, and I don't know where to start either! LOL

Sorry to hear you're having trouble too. I picked up the book I'm reading earlier, and decided to just read, for as long as I could, and try to read it quickly. It worked for a bit, but I don't know if it's a concentration issue or attention or what not, but I have to reread the sentence again and again because it's not sinking in. Another question for another thread.
Maybe a schedule would work for you? Set out a specific time each day where you have to read something, or at least try to. You can't do anything else before your time is up. If you're having trouble figuring out a schedule, well, join the club.
Any more ideas about just starting something?
