I only had the patience to read long books in high school; now I really want to but they're too difficult.

Have you tried audiobooks?
I found this Librivox audiobook to have a good narrator.

I listened to the first third of the book while at work (the second Librivox version) [1]. I'm not sure if he pronounced the names right, because I've heard others pronounce them differently, and I'm not sure who's correct. In any case, having listened to the names, I found it quite easy to read the rest of the physical book, having the pronunciation and prosody of many the names already embedded in me. Having multiple names per person was quite confusing, still.

You just have to build a habit. Nothing happens unless it becomes habitual.
Of course, that "just" is doing a lot. I'm saying it's doable, not that it's easy.
