I've rarely bought books at full-price just for the reason that I'll be afraid I'll lose interest, put it down and waste my money. Luckily I've been surrounded by a few used book stores, but it's not always an option for everyone.
I usually multi-task in my reading with chores that don't need my attention. If I don't have any appointment for a lunch hour, I'll read a book while eating. This is how I pretty much devoured many books, my interest was piqued at lunch and I ended up finishing them in bed.
When it comes down to it, you'll just need to set aside time in your schedule to read. Easier said than done for a lot of us though. But if you don't want yourself sucked into a book after say 20% of the book, it might not be worth your time. (I usually give authors that much leeway to get me involved).
How ya doing, buddy?
