I think the biggest thing is to pick a book that interests you and you can finish.


Great advice

Covid got me back into reading. Id fell off to not reading ag all and with nowhere to go I picked it back up

Browse Amazon or check your library out and that’s what I did

Walk down the history aisle and say “ oh the crusades.. I just watched kingdom of Heaven.. would love to know more . Or a biography of Ulyssess grant by Chernow. It’s dense but Chernow is so great of an author

Find what you like and go from there.

In addition to this, AND setting a dedicated time, AND finding a riveting book:

Put the book down if you don't like it. I have a three chapter rule (unless the chapters are super short, then it's 10). If, after three chapters, I don't see the book and WANT to keep reading, I just move on. You don't have to power through a book because you thought it would be interesting, the library has more.
