I completely understand how you feel. I confessed the same feelings to my brother once and he suggested that I log onto lds.org and type in a topic. (Something I am interested in/dealing with), then search the scriptures and Ensigns in the search engine. This has been a huge help for me, because I've learned that when I find a way to connect myself to the scriptures, they no longer seem boring to me. In fact, even in you initially follow talks from the Ensign, you'll find that scriptures are quoted all the time.
It's also important to realize that we don't have to read the scriptures from cover to cover. Just open to any page, or search the index for something you are interested in. I'm sure you'll discover that the more you try to liken the scriptures to yourself, the less bored you will become. (I say this to both of us). Best of luck!
