OK.
Start with A Christmas Carol.
You will not need any motivation. It's a great story. Very entertaining.
Then watch the film.
Take it from there.
pi:
Why do you need a motivation? Just get off AN and read the damn book. Simple.
But if you are actually in need of motivation (I'm assuming you are heavily procrastinating by posting so much) then Mao's suggestion is awesome. We can ban you to help you too.
FlorianK:
Just read it on train rides to the city and back and read it in bed before you sleep, also make funny summaries of your texts.
Like for Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol:
An old man with a boring life goes on a 12 hour acid trip and, in a drug-induced trance, decides to spend his entire fortune on a turkey and charity.

If you force yourself to read the book, you wont understand it deeply and will get bored soon
I suggest you to ask someone who willingly read the whole book out loud, you record it and then listen again when you are on the train, before going to bed etc :p
I know some novels have audio versions as well
Mr Keshy:
I actually started reading GUAIA again yesterday before I slept.
Don't know why I didn't sooner :D, I think I'll find it good to read at least before bed. I feel that my quality of sleep has slightly improved too..

I'm not sure it's procrastination, I mean I have no trouble with doing all my other work at all. It's just the books I had trouble with. But I guess now it's improved.

I actually forced myself to read the book to be honest, but after the first page, I didn't feel that way :)
I guess all I needed was a kick start or something.
