That used to happen to me all the damn time when I was a kid in school, even high school. Whenever I was reading something I was uninterested in, this happened.
Now as an adult I tend to read things I'm interested in - I like my job so even work-related stuff holds my attention. And now it doesn't happen so much. But still, I think it's totally normal.
ADD is much more severe, to the point where you often have trouble sitting through an entire movie, even if it's a movie most would agree is riveting.
