I read dense non-fiction for work purposes for a long time and it sucked the joy out of reading for many years. I turned to sci-fi and fantasy and found the escapism wonderful.

Also, audiobooks! Depending on your reading pace you may find you are able to consume more of a book in shorter time that way.

Sounds great! It sounds like we have similar experiences. I tend to lean more sci-fi, so I'll see what I can find there. Thank you!

I would suggest Martha Well's 'Murderbot' series, ⅚ of the books are novellas (about 130~ pages) and they keep you interested with interpreted action sequences. A lot to think about philosophically, the main character is a party between a clone and an AI, and while they're meant to be a tough murder weapon, all they want to do is watch dramas on tv.
