Most likely it’s because you haven’t found the types of books you like, or at least the writing style you like to read. Modern writing is much more condensed than it was even 20 or 30 years ago.

I’m a slow reader and have trouble sitting down with a book, though I will if the book is good enough. For folks like me, I’d recomend starting off with an audio book. You’ll get the story and it might get you interested enough to eventually pick up a book. It’s a good transition from movies or tv into reading. I know multiple people, along with myself, who’ve gotten into reading by starting with audio books.
As far as books go, you might like one of these:
Dungeon Crawler Carl I recommend this book to everyone! If you like video games and humor, this is the book for you. It’a fantasy / sci-fi about a guy forced into a type of game with a sidekick (who I wont talk about due to spoilers). It’s fantastic. Quick paced and very funny. Highly recommend this in audio book format.
The Heist by Janet Evanovich & Lee Goldberg FBI agent and con man forced to work together, buddy action style. Similar to Rush Hour in tone and silliness.
The Intern’s Handbook by Shane Kuhn An assassin beomes an intern in an office. It’s dark, but funny, especially if you work in an office type setting.
Razor Girl by Carl Hiaasen Detective and con woman team up. It’s funny and fast, and kind of weird.
