I do think you may have just picked the worst spot to start.
I read a lot and have for years and while I enjoyed it at times I could not get through the first Lord of the Rings book.
The other two I read but they are definitely a bit on the heavy side for a start into reading.
One general thing I would like to recommend is to not limit yourself to one book, I often have a similar problem of loosing interest in a book even though I really like it but since I tend to read 5 book in parallel that is not a great hindrance.
Also don't force yourself to read, it may be worth a try to get back into after a while but if it does not click after a few pages there is no Point.
For the moment I would say try a few shorter books and maybe some short stories.
Have you tried Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, it's a good book and I see the risk of loosing interest as lower since it is only partially carried by it's story and mostly by the jokes.

Reply to I'm trying to read more. But it's almost like I'm forcing myself to and not because I do it for the enjoyment by Mad_Season_1994
