I also have this issue. I didn't try with autonomy off--which I might attempt later. However, a sim who actually has the bookworm trait refuses to sit and read even if she hasn't finished the book before. I don't remember having the issue before the City Living expansion, but it might've been there--I haven't played much in a while.
Basically I couldn't get my sim to sit and read until I removed the TV from the house. She would always self-interrupt to go turn the TV on and watch it instead. And yet she will autonomously pick up books and then leave them lying around. I haven't noticed her sticking to the choice to read when she does it on her own, but maybe she does and I just end up interrupting her.
This is not a club situation; my sim is not a member of any club. It happened on her home lot in an apartment.
I don't even know if just removing the TV will fix it in all situations, but whatever it is about the magnetic pull of the TV vs. books, that needs fixing so bookworms and studious skillbook reading sims can read again.
Even after putting in the order to read a book, my sim gets distracted, stops reading, and starts doing something else. Again, after the toddler's update.
They do the same thing when mixing drinks, my sim always stops to view something in the distance. So yes, while reading the Vampire book and having a TV in front of the sim he/she always stops reading, the bar disappears and he/she watches TV instead... I always need to cancel that action from the queue.
