I always have multiple books going at the same time, so if one book is particularly long or slow or dragging, I still have other easier and more enjoyable books that I finish in the meantime. It does take me longer to finish any one of them than it would if I was reading one book exclusively, but it also means that I don't feel like I'm using up all of my reading time on it.
(I'm currently working my way through a selection of The Classics just to have experienced them at least once. Some go easier and I will reread them again someday while others I am just glad to have behind me. There have not been any that I wish I had not read.)
