Reply to How do you make a habit of reading for leisure, not only for university studies? by bunga_Berapi
Another idea might be (and this I'm basing on your wanting to read but doing other things in your free time instead) to start with very short books - a novelette or short story collection or, at most, a novella. They may not be the books you're currently interested in reading but may help to form a habit and will give you that 'reward' of finishing a book quickly which could help all by itself, giving you that feeling that you've done it once, now you can do it again.

This. It providing the book in a different format may also do wonders because it's then not the same as a university book which is on paper/screen.

This. It doesn't 'cure' it, but it helps a whole lot.

If you are always reading at home (and therefore tips like try reading in the library aren't relevant), then give reading a go with the TV on low in the background when people are asleep/out as an initial experiment and go from there. Essentially, you want to expose yourself to a bit more noise as time goes on. Effectively white noise but not as 'loud' and with a bit of difference in the sound. Work your way towards regular white noise.
