I have done. Last year I read two books between January and February and then nothing for three months before getting back to reading.
This year a similar thing happened, after getting through twenty-nine books in the first three months, my pace slowed to ten over the next three months, and pretty much all ten were slight, coming in around a hundred pages each. I'm happy to report that I'm over all that again...at least for this year.
I don't know why it happens to me. But I just keep persisting, picking up one, putting it down if it doesn't grab and trying the next one. It's a bit of a pain that it does happen as I never get buyer's block, and I was also building up a bulk of review copies that I just wasn't getting to, which psychologically builds up a weight of obligation, especially as its been sent in good faith after I'd considered and accepted to read.
