I've got ADD and have difficulties reading from time to time because of it. Do you have a meditation practice at all? I do 10 minutes every morning with an app called, "simply being" and 10 minutes at night. It's changed my life. It took the constantly running internal monologue and slowed it down and/or quieted it a bit for me. I'm able to focus in on things a little better now which has helped a lot.
I also know that it takes me a few pages to really get into a book. I read all of Lovecraft's works in college. I had to set aside 45 minutes for reading time. The first 5-10 I would struggle but then eventually something would click and I would be locked into the book. If I took a few days off it was harder to lock in. I think sometimes reading is like getting on board with someone else's internal monologue or at least the characters via the authors writing style and that can be difficult for people with ADD.
