Not sure this counts as a humblebrag or a normal brag considering I know most of you inhale books like air, but I finished an entire book this month and I am v v proud of myself.
I lost both the will and the skill to read in the past decade and it's slowly coming back.

I’m biased obviously
I hurt my neck in 2005 and holding a book reading is quite painful since then
I now use Audible to "read"
Gate the idea of five Bezos money, but ...
For my entire life would read at minimum one book per week- often three books going at a time. Then, for over 20 years read almost entirely non-fiction.
Now what, Readers Block? wtf?

I’m so happy that you’ve found both your will and skill to read again.
Best wishes.
I had to stop reading it; I was getting too depressed.

It's sort of a clean dystopia, really
And, if you're not limiting yourself to cli-fi type fiction, you might try The Expanse series. I love those books because the characters are imperfect and they explore lots of social issues. Also Murderbot books are funny and move briskly.
Anyway, right on!!! (And good choice)
Just started GOING POSTAL.
