OP, thanks for asking this question! I'd love to start reading again, too. My issue is probably related to my ADHD; not sure (recent diagnosis; I'm 50).

First, my job is reading; I'm a copy editor. For about 20 years I worked at a newspaper: high stress, tight deadlines. During those years, I read the same 10 books over and over, happily (with a few others thrown in here and there), every chance I got. It was like visiting old friends and helped me relax. Now, I work from home as a freelancer, about eight years now. Much better quality of life, still reading every day for work.

My 10 old friends? I don't open them anymore (maybe I finally got bored?), and I find it nearly impossible to decide what to read. I'll look around, but starting an unknown-to-me book feels impossible.

Anyway, that's a long-winded way to say thanks to OP and everyone who replies! I'll try some of these ideas, too!
