Want to restart my reading habit. There has been a break of 3 years. Please suggest some reads ( Only fiction, any sub genre would do)
It has been a long break from reading. I used to be an avid reader but work and health did not permit me to continue. But now I am looking to get into the habit slowly.
My go to book rec for people who want to get into reading is Holes by Louis Sachar, because it appeals to all ages, has really short chapters, and is super engaging!

A novel that did this for me was *Siddhartha* by Herman Hesse, which I vouch for almost daily in this sub. It isn’t a long read, nor is it a hard read, but it is deeply insightful and poetically written. It is an absolute joy to read and it really opened my eyes to the joys of literature once more.
