I could relate to what you wrote about both rushing through reading and also the train + story experience.
Perhaps because I am always reading in bed, I noticed I have this tendency to always be looking at the remaining page count. Part of it is because I know I'll need to parcel books out to 3 or more nights (depending on the book size) so I am always thinking of a stopping point. But it does contribute to a tendency to rush through stories (or stay up too late).
I've wondered if a combination of activities tends to lend itself to longlasting impressions. I've noticed, for example, while doing jigsaw puzzles or exercising that the activities have combined with certain stories in my head. I still associate Death in Paradise with doing puzzles and the show Evil with doing exercises because I watched them for long stretches while doing these things.
