Whenever you fall off a reading practice, a useful way to get back into it is to read a book just for fun. Purely out of interest, curiosity, and joy. Some books that have done that for me lately: Office Ladies, Adversity for Sale, How Starbucks Saved My Life.

When you don’t read, it’s easy to believe that reading is slow. It feels boring and takes time. Picking up a fun book reminds you how easy it can be.

The rest of your reading list looks much less intimidating once you’ve gotten back into the groove.
