That's okay it's not a race or anything. Read at your pace. At least your attention span is willing to read books and hasn't been destroyed by a decade of trash quick fix social media algos

Audiobooks.

I don't understand how people listen to audiobooks. I tried multiple times to give it a try but always zone out after 5 minutes and miss parts of the story.

I have 3 separate series going, all being cycled through. I just bought another Agatha Christie book today because I'm an addict to never completing what I've started

Try to frame it like it's exciting, not a failure. It's fun that you have so many more books you want to read!

I feel very unsuccessful in the face of the disproportion.

Getting an eReader helped significantly with reading, but I still lose steam every now and again...

I can't relate. With my steam library.
