The same thing happens to me. Reading stimulates thought, which can be pretty random sometimes. You could try a different medium, such as podcasts or books on CD.

Any advice on how to read better, stay focused reading, and get the most out of what I am reading. I want to know everything so I can be better and better, but I don't think my mind is trying to keep up...
Environment can also play a role. Do you have a quiet place to read? If not, libraries are places full of like-minded people. Even the time of day when you read can make a difference. Experiment to find out what works best for you.
