Reading blogs are not a wastage of time. You might have learned something good from other's blogs. I am telling you this based on my personal experience.
Anyway, our topic is different. Right?
You are coming to say that you were once fond of reading books. But Now you have turned a lot.
So, my suggestion is that it's better to think twice or thrice about your favorite books, your feelings while reading that book etc. That is, have a look back at your golden days of reading. Gradually, you will return to that period and your craziness of reading books will come back soon. Then you would find them interesting as before.
This is only a small suggestion from me. Everything is completely based on your mindset.

I love to read. I haven't read much lately; although, I do take a book to read at work so I can break up the boredom of my job.
As far as reading books for university, set aside a certain time of day to read your assignments. Do this daily and you will probably get more done than what you may think. Also, limit the amount of time that you spend on the computer and internet.
It might be kind of hard to do at first but just keep at it.

I think that paper books can provide some quality in the act of reading that an e-book or online text will never get. Maybe I'm too old fashioned, but there is nothing like a good book. You know, feeling it in your hands, turn the pages, underline the phrases you want to remember... I wouldn't cahnge it for anything else when I feel like reading.
The suggestion I may give is: find your time and place to read. Take your time, when eyes start to prinkle in fron of the screen or you get bored of the game you're playing at. Go for a walk outside in a sunny afternoon with a book and find a quiet spot to read in a park. Or jump on your sofa in the evening with a hot cup of tea to have a cosy reading atmosphere.
It's not that hard, and once you find your perfect reading enviroment you'll feel really willing to read.
