Good evening all , I hope all is well
I wish to escape this slump I am in with a mess off of a mind. I wish to get my life together and one of the things I wish to achieve that with is getting back into reading. I sort of fell apart on reading after I spoiled a fiction series for myself called the trials of apollo and got into social media. I wish to get myself back into reading but I don’t know where to start. I got into reading with fiction and I sort stayed onto reading with fiction , I tried getting into self help with atomic habits (which is a good read) but I never found my self finishing it cause I always had the instinct of “read it later , you’re always gonna have the book” same thing with beyond good and evil (philosophy) and some other books. I want to defeat this urge and instinct is there a certain way reading can help me overcome it. Getting through the book is also a bit of a problem. Atomic habits was interesting but after a while I was kinda done and wouldn’t pick the book up again. I tried reading the 48 laws of power but had to catch myself checking on whether some passages are moral and whether I should just keep on reading but at the cost of absorbing some of the morally questionable stuff the book suggest. I want a book I will enjoy and keep on reading Should I start with fiction or non fiction? Should I start with Philosophy , history , self help , fantasy or other genre’s?
I do have the following options but anything that comes to your mind after analyzing my situation above is welcome
Here is what is on my list:
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
Six of crows by Leigh bardugo
Ready Player one by Ernest Cline
The alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Shadow and bone by Leigh bardugo
Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
Dune by Frank Herbert
Yea so
Thanks for reading and Have a nice day!!

For fiction
Go for either ready player one or Six of crows
For non fiction
Go for either Problems of Philosophy or Sapiens
Leigh Bardugo’s books are easy to read. I do recommend reading Shadow and bone first and then Six of crows.
Do Six of Crows you won’t regret it!
