If you&#8217;ve been reading serious fiction for lit classes, maybe try mysteries, or romance, or science fiction. That also works if you&#8217;re burnt out on textbooks and other non-fiction. You might enjoy a biography of someone you admire, or a how-to book about a topic you&#8217;re interested in, or a cookbook, or an almanac, or a fairy tale, or some poetry, or a play. If you&#8217;re visually-oriented you might try an art book, or a photo book, or something from our graphic novel collection. Maybe listening to an audiobook would work better for you (listening to a book totally counts as reading). If you&#8217;ve been reading print books, try ebooks or vice-versa. I&#8217;m being general because I don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re interested in, but if any of this sounds good, turn around to your left and ask my helpers at the desk for recommendations.
