Anyone have charts for disturbing books?

Start with these

Do what I did. Start with popular Young Adult books . Read about 2-3 of them just to get back into the flow of reading. They wont overwhelm you and it'll reteach your brain to read fast again.
After that, start reading great novellas that you find interesting. We have a good top 100 novella list somewhere around here.

After that try testing yourself by reading a 600+ page epic.

Then start your western cannon run. Greeks, Romans, Hebrews, Shakespere etc etc

Then find our favorite books of all time 2017 edition and start tackling each book one by one.

Pick your poison friend, most of these are very simple in structure so you probably will not have problem with any of them.

Half listen to >>9402717. What you need is another passion too, not just work. I used to be a hardcore league player (other games too but with friends leagues was a good choice) and finally my friends and I lost interest and we drifted from video games. I did not find another game I was passionate about so I went back to my old hobby, reading. You can't force yourself to like reading that easily. I assume you take the bus or have some free time during the day, just read then. Pick a book you think you would like (the /lit/ starter pack is fine) and just read it when you can. Video games are like drugs, don't expect it to be quick and easy to replace it with another drug.

These are all pretty short. Find one that looks interesting to you.

These too.
