I don't have any trouble reading books in English, but I am also reading books in Portuguese and French which is a bit tougher. My strategy is simple. I read each book for exactly 10 minutes every day. The timer goes on and I start reading. I can always manage 10 minutes even if I am tired and uninterested, but often I find that I want to carry on at the end of the session. This carries over to the next day so I am looking forward to my reading.
If you keep this schedule up - and it is pretty embeded in me now after about a decade- you start a book knowing you are going to finish it. It is like dropping a twig in a stream. You just know it is going to reach the ocean.
But you can't read a book in a week this way.
