Do the reading when the time is good? It's not a textbook where you get to the end and have anything, perhaps you have as much information from it you are supposed to have this second, perhaps your getting into something you shuld know later, or perhaps you have something else you should do later, or right now.
Sounds like you've hit a spiritual dry spell. Start off by praying and praising. Ask God to give you a willing mind and a receptive heart towards the Bible. Confess your apathy, boredom, complacency, laziness, whatever it may be and praise Him for His goodness, kindness, and faithfulness. Find Scriptures that encourage you to seek and praise God. The whole purpose of this is to align yourself to God's heart. When your attitude is in the right place, your actions will follow. Some of my favorite Scriptures are: Psalm 51:10, Mark 9:24, Psalm 42:1-2, Psalm 23&27, Proverbs 1:5, 7, Psalm 110:10, Psalm 19, 1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 7:7-8. Start meditating on them slowly and pray over them. I like to personalize them in prayer. Reading a devotional like Our Daily Bread and Utmost For His Highest helps. Play worship songs. Go slow and build on up. And don't beat yourself up, all that matters is that you're trying to grow closer to God!
