If it doesn't interest you enough to keep reading, put it down and find something else to read. I can't think it's really a 'great book' if you keep getting distracted by the outside world every five minutes. When I'm in a great book, very little will distract me! I won't want to be distracted. (And the old saying "I couldn't put it down!" has been litterally true in some cases.)
No one is going to reward you for reading something that can't keep your interest. Not unless it's for a class, a reading group or you have to review it for some reason and its a mandatory read. Otherwise, you're the only person you have to please.
In this case, if you have to ask "why?" then find something you like better. It's your time, spend it well.
