I’ll add something I got from reading Alan Jacobs:
Don’t make a list.
Read on a whim.
The books you like will naturally lead to more books that you will like.

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
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.
