    Really frustrating. Whenever I'm ill, injured or have too many important meetings (can't turn up sweaty) I destroy a book a week on the tube, at the moment I'm struggling to read at all.

    Do what I do.

    Drink lots of tea and sit down to piss.

    Every time I go to the lavvy I take a book, and refuse to leave the loo for a good five or ten minutes.

    Several visits a day, plenty of R & R time spread throughout the day, reading accomplished.

    Another trick, if you tend to plonk in front of the telly with the wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/gimp, choose a half hour slot in the telly schedule to just switch it off and open a book. Less of a commitment to sitting in silence side by side for the whole evening.
