I'm currently three quarters of my way through a masters degree, and I stopped reading for a couple of months due to sheer exhaustion, and because I was always busy. When I had free time, I wanted to do something that was easy.
Nothing really snapped me out of it, I just forced myself to start reading again because I needed some escape. I began with easier books that didn't require too much effort to read.
I've also had it before when I had a "book hangover" and was still too overwhelmed by my last book. Sometimes I would just reread the last book again which seemed to help. Othertimes I'd just wait it out.
Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.
Reading slumps are really weird things to me

Not worrying about it as much as just realizing that I've never really gone through such a spell

Mine's been more work-related, but I do recall grad school exhaustion too well even after 20 years *NM*

What are you doing at work? My ability to read waxes and wanes with what I'm doing.
