This is similar to my problem where I can easily read forums for hours, but sitting down and reading a specific book is much harder...

Quit thinking and just read.
True story, I talked to my mother last night. She is going to college. Anyway she is having to read a story that she is not liking. The darn thing is only 20 pages. She was trying to figure a way to get through it. My best advice was just read 2 pages at a time.
Remember what I told you in pm. Something is only as important as you make it.
You cannot know if something will have meaning to you until you read it.
So don't think about what you should get out of something. Unless of course you are making cookies or a cake. Those you should know the end result when you start.

Thank so much for your help!

This sounds great, but even if I try to find people on the internet where there are so many people, how am I supposed to find someone who wants to read the same book as me?
