Addressing your last question: So how do one find time to read and how do you manage to read a great deal? Always carry a book with you and never leave the house without one. Read outside, read in the bathroom, read at lunch. Read on transit, airplanes, wherever. I've always behaved like this. If you're interested in developing your own regime, I recommend you practice reading after disengaging from the day and before sleeping. For the past twenty years I've averaged 60 pages a night by getting into bed and reading until sleep arrives. When a section of a book is more compelling than sleep, I'll get out of bed (in a wonderfully quiet house), make a cup of tea and read for another hour. Reading is completely my time, regardless of what city I am in, hotel or home and it is a habit I have preserved on 100 hour work weeks and vacation alike. I also avoid ordering books on Amazon, since I know my local booksellers and want to continue seeing them in operation. :)
