Do you have any hobbies or interests? Maybe choose a book on that topic to start. For example, I once dated a personal trainer who wanted to read more. He was also into sports, so I told him to try a biographies of famous athletes and coaches. It worked. After a couple of those he moved into “food writing” (i.e. Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential, Michael Pollen’s books). Maybe you could try a similar approach.

Also, try to be easier on yourself. It’s okay to not finish a book if you’re not into it. Life’s too short. And don’t feel like you need to read 100 books in a year. Just try to read for 10 minutes a day to start.

Good luck and happy reading!
