I don’t read books anymore.
I’m in my mid 30’s and I live ordinary life with plenty of free time. I always loved reading and I used to read at least one book per week. Last couple of years I sometimes re-read something, but I simply can’t force myself to start anything new. From time to time I go to bookstore and buy many books, put them on shelf and never read them.
When I take any book to my hands I get strange feeling of being too full of information and suddenly I feel tired and I don’t want to read it.
I always thought it’s TV fault and honestly I missed that feeling of excitement while reading books so much that I got rid of TV and I don’t watch it anymore for years. Once or twice per week I watch a movie on computer. But nothing changed, my brain is still clogged.
>>tl dr; I can’t read new books because my brain feels full of information and immediately feels tired.

Is it the physical presence of the paper book? Read on a tablet.
Is it information overload? Read fiction.
Is it intimidating length? Read short stories.

My bet is information overload although I tried to cut down info income. I like fiction, but I see no difference there.
