I struggled with this as well.

it used to make me feel so guilty: I'd get a book out from the library, start reading it, struggle and skip to the end. I felt guilty because their were so many books (are still so many I've not read) which I probably never will.

now I listen to them on audio. I just let someone read it to me.

kills 2 birds with 1 stone.. you get what you want (the story), and you get to relax
