1.
There seems to be, for one reason or another, a surprising number of adults in the world who are literate and fully capable of reading a book, but who have chosen not to for a long time. They might have fallen out of the habit during lockdown, when the idea of giving something sustained attention felt impossible; or after they left school, when no one was forcing them to read; or perhaps they never found the habit of reading whole books in the first place.

2. Know whatβs put you off reading in the past
If you tapped out of books after eighth grade because To Kill a Mockingbird was just way too twee for you, a good librarian or bookseller can use that information to steer you away from nostalgic historical novels about plucky children and toward something with a little more edge. If the thing you didnβt like about reading in school is simply that it was required, you might get a kick out of reading something that feels especially rebellious to start things off.

3. Know what you like in other media
βMore often than not these days, TV shows are based on books,β says Pullen. βSo you can read the books that are in that series, whether itβs Bridgerton or Game of Thrones. Or if you donβt want to read Bridgerton specifically, you can try a book by the same author, and that might be a way to start realizing that good storytelling is good storytelling.β

4. Start small, and donβt be afraid to play with formats
Reading a book requires some sustained attention, and as the clichΓ© goes, attention is a muscle. It requires exercise. If youβre just dipping back into reading, go slowly. Thereβs no need to set yourself up for failure by trying a book thatβs too long for you to deal with right now.
