I've liked to read since I was a little tot. In recent years my reading attention span has gotten short -- or maybe it always has been. I've always been scatterbrained. I get my reading done by reading several books at once -- a page or two or so of one, then of another, then of another, then back to the first, and so on.
Currently my on the toilet books are OLD FRIENDS by Tracy Kidder, CHRONICLE OF A DEATH FORETOLD by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and LIVES OF THE MASTER by Glenn Sanderfur; my wintertime walking at the mall books are A COUNTRY CALLED HOME by Kim Barnes and PACKING INFERNO, THE UNMAKING OF A MARINE by Tyler E. Boudreau, and my bedside books are EDGAR CAYCE AN AMERICAN PROPHET by Sidney D. Kirkpatrick and THE ART OF TALKING SO THAT PEOPLE WILL LISTEN by Paul W. Sweets. I have stacks of various magazines, newsletters, and junk mail to read while I'm eating in an easy chair when there is nothing I want to see on TV.

Wow, I am impressed that you can read while walking!
When you are done with this pile of lovely books, would you consider reading something by John Holt, the father of unschooling? I would be able to lend it to you.
