    Which books helped you get out of a reading slump? I have been in one for a very long time now.

    PS: I cannot sustain through science fiction

    1. ImpressionistReader on

      Drowning by TJ Newman is a quick, fast-paced survival adventure about a plane that crashes into the sea and is precariously perched on an underwater cliff.

    2. You can try short stories and novellas

      **Visit from the goon squad** is a good book.

      **Then there were none** and other stories by Agatha Christie, if you are ok with classics.

      If you haven’t watched the movie **Gone Girl** then read the book.

      Do you like any particular genres ? In non fiction you can try books by **Mary Roach.**

      **Sex lives of Cannibals** is a hilarious travelogue. It has got some issues but will get you out of a reading slump.

      the books that got me out of previous slumps – The Bone Clocks, Adventures of Tintin, Project Hail Mary, The terror, The North Water.

    3. I’m into mystery books and I recommend every book written by Shari Lapena. Every chapter she writes ends with a cliffhanger and every book is fast paced. I also recommend No Exit by Taylor Adams.

    4. I add in a genre I don’t usually read. This year, I’m adding biographies and autobiographies to the mix. They also tend to be faster reads than what I’m used to, so it’s great for a quiet weekend.

      What kind of books do you usually like? Maybe reread an old favorite?
