Pls advice me ..

Dont give up yet, even though he is not listening to you he is still able to comprehend the fact that you are reading to him. My son did the same now when he is 16 months old, he brings books to me and demands i read to him :) .Try and get colourfull books that have big pictures, that would hold their attention a bit more.

If you kid is comfortable standing 0-15 min then allow them. Remember they are the best judge of what is okay for them. if he is not comfortable he would sit down himself.
