Suzanne – the reason I can read for much is I listen to books on tape.  I listen to them on the commute to and from work.  I listen sometimes during the work day depending on what I am doing.  I also listen to them while I walk/exercise.   I also listen to them when I am cooking or cleaning up the kitchen.   I jsut put the CD in my laptop and clean while listening to my books.    I find it very enjoyable.   Actually reading a book I am luck if I make it through one book a month.  But I listen to about one a week.
