Similar here. The "you need to read through page 95 by Thursday" for years ruined it for me. For over a decade after leaving school whenever I'd try to read something I'd just obsess over the page numbers and how long until a chapter break. It's only very recently I've managed to get mostly past that and actually been able to get into what I'm reading.
