I don't really feel like reading right now. Can you convince me to go do it?

Get an interesting audiobook. Eventually you're annoyed by the voice but you still want to follow the story so you just read normally instead.

I want to read the master and margarita, the b&o translation. But I just got done doing a lot of tasks today, and I don't really feel like working my mind any more than I already have. I just feel like relaxing.
Go do it

I usually listen to classical music to get myself into the mood of reading and doing something. Do whatever compels you.

If you don't want to read, then don't. Stop forcing yourself to read if you don't enjoy it. Only pseudo-intellectuals use reading to inflate their own ego based on 'intelligence' gained from reading

But people with no motivation to read usually enjoy reading. It's just that it's hard for us to start, and it's hard for me to sit still and concentrate for so long.
You're gonna die one day.
Also you could watch a movie too

This. I like reading, it's just that when I start a book, given it isn't harry potter baby crap (rep the grand master Bloom), then it's not something I can just pick up unless I'm in a very serious and motivated state of mind. You don't just pick up classics of russian literature because you want a relaxing stroll through bookland.
