Allow yourself to take a break. I find it's a lot easier when you don't have a voice inside of you telling you you need to be doing something right now.
Perhaps try rereading a favorite you haven't read in a while, it should be easier to get through.

Seems legit. Just can't force yourself to read sometimes if you're disinterested, you won't retain it or get into the sublime meanings.

>vary your book choice


I've been reading Snow Crash on my phone for like a year because I only read it when I occasionally have to use public transit. So I have to usually skip back a couple pages and re-read to remember where I was.

I just read The Long Walk (370pages) cover to cover today because I just couldn't put it down.

>read nonfiction
I usually read about 30-50 pages of something before I go to bed, tho not every night. Just finishing William Craig's Enemy At The Gates. Not even sure it's strictly non-fiction, as although the book is thoroughly researched, there is just some dialogue and events which don't ring totally true or he could not possibly have known about.
