I actually built my habit by re-reading Harry Potter. The nostalgia factor was strong, and since I knew the plot, I could just enjoy the language and characters without stress. It reminded me why I loved reading as a kid. Sometimes you need to reconnect with that initial joy before you can tackle new things.
I disagree with people who say to avoid classics. Some classics are incredibly propulsive! 'The Count of Monte Cristo' is basically the OG revenge thriller, and 'Dracula' is told through diaries and letters, which makes it feel fast-paced. The key is picking the right classic—avoid the overly philosophical ones and go for the ones known for their plot.
Look for books with a strong, clear premise right in the blurb. 'A man wakes up on a spaceship with no memory' ('Dark Matter'). 'A woman is hired to ghostwrite a famous actor's memoir' ('The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo'). If the core concept immediately intrigues you, you’re more likely to push through the initial pages to see how it plays out.
Lurking in this thread for ideas. My to-be-read pile is a monument to good intentions. I buy books, start them, get two chapters in, and then my brain goes 'squirrel!' Maybe the key is just accepting I have the attention span of a goldfish right now and finding books for that.

I find myself reading a ton when I have a series to binge. Committing to a long series like the 'Murderbot Diaries' (starting with 'All Systems Red') or the 'Wayward Children' novellas creates built-in momentum. You finish one book, and the next one is right there, waiting with characters you already love. You don't have to spend mental energy deciding what to read next, which is a major habit killer. The decision fatigue is eliminated, and the routine of returning to a familiar world becomes comforting and automatic.
Starting with fiction can feel overwhelming, but it’s all about finding what sparks joy for you. I’d recommend picking books with relatable themes or settings—maybe something like 'The Alchemist' for its simplicity and universal message, or 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone' if you enjoy a mix of adventure and familiarity. Short story collections like 'Interpreter of Maladies' are great too; they offer variety without commitment.
Another tip? Don’t shy away from young adult fiction. Books like 'The Hunger Games' or 'Percy Jackson' are fast-paced and engaging, perfect for easing into longer reads. Audiobooks can also be a gateway—hearing a skilled narrator bring a story to life might just hook you. Trust your curiosity, and don’t pressure yourself to finish something if it doesn’t click.
I had success with books that have a strong, driving mystery at their core, even outside the mystery genre. 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' makes you ask 'Who is the real Evelyn?' with every chapter. That narrative question mark hanging over you is a powerful incentive to pick the book back up to find answers. Any book that masterfully cultivates curiosity will pull you through it day by day.
They remind you that your taste is valid. There's pressure to read 'important' books. But if a fast-paced mystery or a sweet romance is what gets you turning pages, that's your entry point. Embracing that without guilt is liberating. An easy read validates your personal enjoyment as the most important metric, which is foundational for any reading life.
