too slow to read

Meditate for half an hour each day

Spend your time on something productive or personally rewarding, doesn't have to be books. It could even be video games so long as you are consciously engaging with them instead of just passively trotting along.

And read shit you want to read. Not shit you want to HAVE read, but shit you actually want to sit down and read about. If you have no personal interest in the material it becomes a total chore.

Out of curiosity, what does your average day look like?

stop masturbating

Just stick with the internet and TV

You don't have to read necessairly novels or essays, arguably the worst kind of literature.. You can read short poems and be satisfied but even more enriched with less pages

Sounds like you don't want to only read stemshit and math then.
What do you want to learn more about, exactly?
Do you have a social life? Getting yourself out there should really be your top priority if you don't.

Start with easy books, something in vain of Tolkien or GRRM. They're good for starting your /lit/ odyssey.

You are too used to getting information and pleasure instantly with no effort.

Stop watching TV, stop going on Reddit or tumblr or Facebook, stop eating microwaved food, stop jacking off, pick up a hobby, meditate, get a job.

You don't have to do all of the above but at least do some of them. Your problem is that you have no attention span.

Choosing a book to read is hard work and you need to invest some time to researching.
As well, there are many useless, boring snobs writing books and you need to be aware of this. Anyone can write a book, but quality books that communicate plainly and are worth reading are rare.
