Sounds like anxiety. And today’s world is only created for short-spans. To hook you with one phrase. To sell you with one look. Meditating can help tons. But do not expect results soon, it’s a life-long practice.

I love TV series. Not movies that much. As I want the story to develop longer, like in a book. So I think in a sense I also read my books as if they were a TV show, “in parts”, and I enjoy the cliffhangers I leave myself with.

Just with anything in life, it is about the journey, not the destination. Try to focus on the journey instead. Not to mark the book as read but to enjoy everything that comes with reading it, maybe even learn something from it.

Maybe ask yourself: why do I read? What do I gain from reading?
