I read from my field so it makes it easy to read books because I am motivated to do well in my area of study. So pick books relating to your career, assuming you are working in what makes you happy in life.
Instead of watching TV, I read books*. Instead of sitting on the computer and searching for information, I can usually get a much more concentrated source on one topic from a book. Ask yourself how much time you invest in non-productive tasks on your computer, and compare that to your output--the educational value you receive. For me, reading a book is often a lot better, especially if I want an in depth look at something.
*I don't eliminate TV altogether. I use it only when it is useful--which is rare.
