I started to read books about 5 years ago just to have something to do on long train commutes. At first, I was absolutely mesmerized to discover reading. I was looking forward to my 1,5 hour commute just so that I can read a few more chapters from my current Heinlein novel.

However, I think that I burned out somehow. I read sci-fi. I read almost everything from my favorite writers and I find it more and more hard to find something that would catch me as strongly as the first books that I read. It takes great effort for me to find a book that I would remotely like. I look up Hugo and Nebula winners, but they do almost nothing to me anymore.

I wanted to ask if anyone else experienced something like this. I haven't read a mesmerizing book in the last 6 months. Is something wrong with me (depression, overwork) or is it a normal phenomenon? How to get out of it?
