I’ve not read anything in years. I was recommended 3 Body Problem but hear it starts very slow and I could do with something easy and engaging.
Think mindless action film but in book form. To keep my attention and make me read. Get back in the habit.

Someone mentioned another Neal Stephenson book, I’ll suggest Snow Crash-it’s sci-fi and reads a lot like an action film without being dumb.
Kraken by China Mieville is wonderfully strange, there’s a reason he is associated with the “New Weird” genre. Kind of fantasy, kind of horror.
Not at all light but still makes for short enjoyable reads to get your reading muscles in shape for 3BP: Ficciones and Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges. Two collections of short stories that are fantastic and dense with thought provoking ideas.
