I went through reading slumps in the past and there's a few things to help out if you want to read more, or get back into reading.

Some things that helped me:
1. Start with short story compilations. Short stories range from 5-20 pages, and despite the length have a lot of substance. Plus you can finish off a bunch in a day.

2. Read a chapter a day. Chapters are a great indicator of reading progress. No matter how short or how long a book is, a chapter a day is good.

3. Read a few pages a day. If you struggle with chapters, set a page amount to read. 10 pages isn't bad. At one time 10 pages is all I could muster and I expanded from there. 10 turns to 20, 20 to 30, and so on.

4. Mix art with literature. Art books are a good way to get into reading. It's a good dose of visualization and text.

Also some books/stories I like that I'd like to recommend if you're interested OP. It's a mix of fiction and non-fiction.
