start by looking at fiction or non fiction then from there you have loads of sub categories. go to your library ask some professionals for help narrowing your search. a good book can be life changing, not necessarily in the long term but the excitement you get to read a good book every day is awesome

If you start reading again, you'll feel better. If you read in an omnivorous and far flung manner your days will get better. You will have more to say and more to think about. You can become an evangelical for reading from a place of pure desire and care. Unusual books contain unusual knowledge.
I will post books as an act of human class solidarity. Most posts will include a link to a digital copy, but you will love going to the library. We are lucky to get to hold books in our hands.

I was the same! What worked for me was changing how I saw books in my life. If you see it as a chore then it’s bound to be dropped. So I changed the way i approach it, now for me it’s more of a me-time, quality escapism. so it doesn’t matter the format ( audio books, fanfics, graphic novel, ebooks, before I was more judgmental), and if doesnt hooks me from the beginning I dropped it with no guilt. once you’re honest about what you want in a book (like for me it’s young women writers who overthink the day to day and how to live life) and share with your friends they begin to give great recommendations catered to you it’s a enthusiasm vicious cicle!
I guess I would recommend thinking what was that hooked you before and being really honest with what floats your boat now…

as a former bookseller of nearly seven years, we would get folks with this question all the time. it depends on so many factors! here are questions i would ask:
- what have you liked? what’s given you this feeling before?
- do you have any specific interests you want to read about?
- do you know if you like fiction or non fiction more?
- what kinds of movies and tv shows do you like?
- do you like long books or short books?
- do you want to feel a specific feeling?
