Pace yourself and give yourself a break. If your mind starts wandering, set that book aside. Read a short story or two. Then go back. Sometimes you just hit a snag in the story that just doesn't keep your attention. Sometimes, the rest of the story simply sucks. I mostly listen to audiobooks, but I've had that issue now and then even with those. I nearly gave up with Bad Monkey (and that wasn't a long story!) for this reason, but I'm glad I pushed through since I did enjoy the story. On the other hand, I gave up with James Michener long ago. I just can't stand his writing style although the STORY he tells is good.
