my best suggestion is finding nonfiction in a topic you're interested in and going from there. not all nonfiction has to read like a textbook!! i love caitlin doughty's books, and i remember liking one by mary roach

I'm a big fan of learning casually and nonfiction books are a great way to expand your knowledge while still having fun (unless it's like a textbook or something idk this doesn't include textbooks)

I'm often plagued by this nagging feeling that I need to learn stuff more than I need to just enjoy a story. This results in me slogging through tomes of not-so-practical knowledge about things or events that I just end up forgetting anyway. Some of them take months to get through and aren't even that enjoyable. The years when I read the most were ones in which I just let myself read more narrative-driven fiction.

start by looking at fiction or non fiction then from there you have loads of sub categories. go to your library ask some professionals for help narrowing your search. a good book can be life changing, not necessarily in the long term but the excitement you get to read a good book every day is awesome

so turns out working 20 hrs/wk at the public library and finding a good book series means you absolutely DEMOLISH your reading goals for the year. i set them at an achievable 10 books this year and i read like. nine. in march. yet another win for the humble public library
