I'm having a rough time getting through American Gods by Gaiman right now. Not because it's not a good book or I'm not interested, but because I'm busy with work and all that dumb real life stuff. I've discovered I go in cycles; for a while I won't read anything, and then all of a sudden I'll finish whatever book I'm hovering on in two or three days, pick up a new one push about 100 pages into it, then get bogged down again and stop reading. Lately it's because I've been so beat after work that i fall asleep while I'm reading and only get through a few pages at a time. And the holidays are coming, so I'm going to be swamped even more at work. I probably won't get back to reading or writing until the first of the year...which sucks.
What helped me for a while: setting aside an hour before bed to read. Actually scheduling aside time to make sure I had nothing else to do, so I could take that hour and relax in the tub with my book and a glass of wine.
