I'm a PhD student. Although my field is not literature, this still means that I also read (and write!) a lot during my "full-time day job".
Like I responded to another comment, my reading rhythm varies significantly from one day to the other, I may read 20 or 200 pages in a day, and it depends heavily on the book itself as well. The motivation just comes from the pleasure I take from reading, and as a kind of "palliative" after reading more technical stuff in my work. Very few of the books that I read for pleasure are related to my field of study. Also, I'm curious about many different subjects outside my PhD, which helps in keeping it interesting.
About finding the time... That's a question I get a lot. The thing is, I don't watch much TV, I don't watch Netflix, and I don't have an Instagram or TikTok account. Instead, I use that time for reading and other things I enjoy, like reading (but also, for example, some video games). I'm not boasting at all about this, it's just a choice that I make, just like it's anyone's choice what they do with their free time.
