Now I'm much slower since I just can't consentrate that well anymore. I keep getting distracted. On the flipside I have no problem reading a lot of fanfiction.

This one is from 2006, and it has been updated twice since then, with another update coming in October of this year. A lot of classics, but also a lot of contemporary books, and some you might not even think about. There is also a group on Goodreads.

But it's gotten to the point where I feel that I've read all of the good fan fictions.

You make a goal of how many books you want to read in the year, and you can see your friends' goals and also how many books total everyone from the site has pledged to read. Last year I made it over my goal of 100, but there were times when I was like, I NEED to read to make it (not that it was a hardship, lol). This year I'm going for 70, but it's been a busy one so I'm only at 25 currently. I'm doing their official one this year, but I've done personal ones since 2009.
