Get past the exposition. Read a throwaway pulp book. I read one called the 47th samurai about a vietnam vet taking on the yakuza, it was fun and easy to read.

I hadn't read a book in a few years myself. Aside from stuff like Freakonomics and John Stossel books. Then I found a copy of Killing Floor by Lee Child in the trash at work. Read the entire book in like 3 days. Then read the next one in about 5. Then the third in the series in another 5. On the 4th book now. 16 to go.

The first one was really good and so was the second one. I couldn't stop reading. They're the Jack Reacher books by the way. Good thrillers that make you wanna keep reading to find out what happens.

The Freakonomics books are really good too. Different kind of reading than a novel but really interesting stuff. Same with Stossel. They make you look at things in a completely different light.

PIck a movie you like that is based on a book. Read the book.

It really depends what type of books you like.

If you haven't head The Illiad yet I would advise that. The Divine Comedy is also good.

The Martian
