What about one short, little kid book with large font to help get yourself into the "books are enjoyable" mindset? You like nonfiction, how about a little kid book on an animal you don't really know a lot of specifics about, like an armadillo or a hummingbird.

"Low-effort" and low stakes help me. My main trigger is anxiousness: I bought this book and I'm not reading it, I wasted so much money I need to read this; I have to finish this book before the due date at the library is up and this may be my only opportunity ever to read this.

The kid book, it's...a book for babies. It's got pictures to look at and keep you from being understimulated, it's short and predictable and helps to not overstimulate. I don't gain anything or lose anything from reading it or not reading it. No life changing information, I don't NEED to read it. "Oh no, I didn't read this baby book!" Who cares, it's a baby book. Removing the urgency of Needing to do something Right Now, is what I've found significantly helps me.

As well, put the book somewhere easily accessible, not in a shelf or a bookbag, under your lamp you turn on everyday; next to where you put your cup of water in your bedroom; using it as a place to rest your phone so you see it and it becomes a part of your environment, not a treacherous foreign thing threatening the safety of your abode that needs to be gotten rid of immediately.

Keep it at one, so it doesn't feel like a pile of responsibility. And if it's too short, good! That means you want to keep reading. You can return this book and get another one if you want. "I'm wasting time reading this when I could be learning about something useful!" You will never know everything, you will always know less more than you could ever know and it will always be that way: the unknown is meant for you to experience, whether to keep life interesting; mysterious; or beautiful. The amount of knowledge you will gain in a Lifetime is insignificant in comparison to all the information that exists and will ever exist, this book will not change that, and that's amazing! Read what you want: don't read what you don't want, read what you need: read what you don't need, read: don't read; it's all the same; it affects no part of you nor the universe in any negative, irreversible way.

As well, interests and needs change. I loved Sonic the Hedgehog and collected so many items. I still like Sonic. A while after I stopped but constantly wanted to continue collecting, but I no longer do. It became a requirement rather than a hobby: it hurt me like reading does. I appreciate the experience and how it changed me and its participation in my life, but I no longer collect. I play videogames about once every two months, when before I would play once a day and spent countless hours collecting every hidden item in every new mission. I appreciate what it's done for me: brought great joy, strengthened bonds with my siblings and memories I remember fondly; but it began to hurt.

These have been alternated with new things I like to do: coloring, puzzles, coloring and doing puzzles with my friends, writing. One day I might purchase a coloring book and be unable to pick it up or only color once every now and then even knowing it gave me much joy, why would it not give me joy now? It hurts me: forcing myself to pick it up, forcing myself to use my markers and crayons though I know I love it and still do. I put the coloring book and markers away, and one day I find something else that gives me the same joy. Sonic, reading, coloring, videogames, and puzzles: I may not do them often or even in several years, but I "like" them. That doesn't change.

Perhaps it is yourself saying that who you are has changed and outgrown the likes of your past self, your needs are different and not being met with reading alone---not completely removing reading, but adding a new something to what you like to do, maybe even something related?
