Recommendation to help me get back into reading

A Song of Ice and Fire should occupy a few months.

I will read anything just so it's not a bore. Thanks guys.

Lonesome Dove
Michael Creighton novels- Congo, Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, etc
Nonfiction- Civilization, the West and the Rest by Niall Ferguson

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch - this is a good book to get back into reading. It’s fast-paced, interesting topic, and will leave you wanting more
The Passage Trilogy by Justin Cronin
I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes
Michael Connelly novels

Sorry, double post.

You might be in the right age bracket to really like authors like Tom Clancy and James Patterson.

I agree what you say about the list, I think they actually say most loved novels and when a 6th grader which has only read Harry Potter can vote then the list reflects that. I can’t ever imagine a world where I will ever read the Twilight or Fifty Shades books.

Amazon

How to Read a Book by Moritmore Adler. I just read it and one of the best books I've ever read, and well, very well written. He discusses how to get the best out of a book, how to decide if a book is worth reading before actually reading the book. He also discusses how to read different books like science, history, philosophy, poetry, fiction, etc. An old book, but stands the test of time my opinion, it, it will make you kind of pumped up about reading other books. There is probably cheaper options to get it than Amazon though.

He goes into detail about how most of us read on an Elementary level, and teaches you how to do inspectional reading, and in great detail in reading analytically, then syntopically, which to me isn't that important (syntopical reading). It's about getting the most out of a book, not how many books you read. Pretty eye opening, the books was revised in early 70s and he discusses how even though tv and radio gives you so much information, ( basically like internet today)

“Television, radio, and all the sources of amusement and information that surround us in our daily lives are also artificial props. They can give us the impression that our minds are active, because we are required to react to stimuli from the outside. But the power of those external stimuli to keep us going is limited. They are like drugs. We grow used to them, and we continuously need more and more of them. Eventually, they have little or no effect. Then, if we lack resources within ourselves, we cease to grow intellectually, morally, and spiritually. And we we cease to grow, we begin to die.”

“If you are reading in order to become a better reader, you cannot read just any book or article. You will not improve as a reader if all you read are books that are well within your capacity. You must tackle books that are beyond you, or, as we have said, books that are over your head. Only books of that sort will make you stretch your mind. And unless you stretch, you will not learn."
