My Inability to Finish Books

Upon receiving the Pecha Kucha assignment, i had come to the sudden realization that i have only finished reading one book this year.  That book was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  But, i have read the majority of lot's of books, these include Game of Thrones, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and all of the required books for World Lit. class.  I'm still interested in finishing them, but not enough to continue reading them.  Maybe it's because i already know the endings of most of the stories.  I've watched all of the Game of Thrones series, and we have already gone over each book we've read in class in complete detail.  I'm looking for something with a new and unique story.  Which is why if i were to ever start reading again, i would continue the Hitchhiker's series, because it is the most unique series I've ever been invested in.  But the library fines became too high for me to keep it, and i decided to trade back in "Restaurant".  The real sad part is, now that the book is out of my reach, i want to read it all the more.  But my sheer laziness has never met a challenger it can't overcome, and the fate of reading will most likely suffer the same fate as writing, and putting effort into my dreams.  Perhaps over the summer i will regain the willpower to start reading again, but most likely not.  These book things were a nice idea, but sadly my attention span is more interested in something requiring a little less effort.  Of course i am kidding, my attention span can last through thirty hours of television.
