@wasim it's all about making time and reading things you actually enjoy. I try to wake up and read a little (can't always), and I read for about 20-30 minutes before work since I have 2 hours before students come, and I'll read for about 15 before bed. I read while shitting a lot, too. When I was taking the subway to work I would read an ebook on the way.

A line from "On Writing" that stuck with me, is that reading should be short sips as well as long draws. People can get intimidated because it seems like a daunting task that requires setting aside an hour, but most of the times I read are short. Only once a week or so do I dedicate a lot of time in a single sitting.
