I also have trouble reading. While in grad school, with research papers to do, I really had to just pace myself....read for a specific amt of time and then just get up and do something else. Now, not having that demand, I find I can't read much more than half an hour. I do listen to audio books, mostly at bedtime, to which I fall asleep. These are history type books, no non-fiction. I will restart the book the next night where I drifted off to sleep. I do this primarily to avoid my obsessive thinking which keeps me awake. Listening to the book (history...no fiction) really helps me!
