I try to break everything down into bite size chunks. Like yourself I cannot go for long periods of just reading unless it's reading for a purpose such as trying to find something that I know is there but is just eluding me.
I quite like the Kaplan study texts as they always break down to reading with regular practical application of what you are learning.
Bpp on the other hand can at times just be page after page of pure unrelenting tedium.
You may find it better to walk away and have a cuppa then come back to it later... Or even leave it competely for tonight and revise a different chapter / book then come back to the chapter that you are having issues with tomorrow.
If you are just forcing your way through it you're probably not taking it in. Try to do smaller chunks. Set yourself a goal of reaching the end of the page rather than the end of the chapter then when you reach it decide whether to throw caution to the wind and do another page.
I've finished whole chapters with that frame of mind where if I think of it as 70+ pages to go I'm more likely to just give up and switch the TV on... Mmm, and one that thought, Big Bang theory or financial instruments...

It's an Osbourne book, cash management, which in itself isn't a big book and the chapters explaination part in fairness isn't that long, however the activities take forever and a day, it's prepare a cash budget over and over and over with increasingly difficult scenarios designed to blow your mind. That said, I am enjoying learning about it all but think I'll quit for a while before hitting forecasting data for cash budgets.
Just trying to get through one chapter... it just happens to be the longest chapter in the world.
