I do have some shorter books, poetry, essays.... I think if I finish a couple of those, I might gain a bit more confidence in my reading. Maybe I should set aside the mammoth I started and read something a bit more manageable.
Any ideas about how I could build up my attention? Could it be a practice-makes-perfect thing?
Inedible, I should do the bookmark thing. I find my eyes wander a bit too easily, and when I did have a bookmark or ruler or the like, it helped.

I agree it's an attention issue, Bark I think it's also possible you're just in over your head, that the material, the courses etc. are just too difficult for you. That's something for you to think thru. I believe that if you find you're in over your head, you'll need to rethink what you want to do, find something you like, want to do, would enjoy, could earn money at, etc. I would suggest that if you're in over your head, you stop beating your head against the wall.
