My own shortcomings in reading and writing have given me a high regard for the written word and the masters of language.
Silly question, but have you tried something like Adderall to help? I was somewhat in the same boat as you years ago. Really struggled to concentrate for long periods of time. Found out it was just attention deficit and has really helped with my reading and other aspects of life.

Just a thought.
