The sheer volume of those books (and some of the readings) can make you feel overwhelmed.  Good to break it down into little pieces.  I found the following two things helped me get through it much faster.
1. a sheet with little boxes on it (each representing 5 pages) that I could tick off as I read through each reading.  Basically rewarding yourself every 10-15 minutes.
2. using a stop watch to time how long it takes to read each page - trying to keep it under 2 or 3 minutes per page.
I know this might seem like a distraction but it is really easy to get bogged down and waste time if you dont keep pushing yourself forward.
