Why do you read? To me this sounds like a sort of emptiness in the intention to read, where the only goal is simply to 'consume' or 'achieve' the book, and the only counterbalancing force is ecstasy or enjoyment. This reduces reading to a mere task and you attend to it like other tasks- always looking beyond it as a burden to release.

Sometimes it does feel like a task but when I finish a book or even a chapter that I liked I feel happy and satisfied for what I just did
