A few years back I used to be an avid reader, always having one or two books on the go and used to love it.
Recently though I've been really struggling to keep at anything. I still buy books, I have stacks of them I just can't seem to get into anything!

Any ideas? Can anyone recommend me anything to re ignite my love of reading?

Cheers

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've got a bookcase full, and yet there are periods (a good few years), where I haven't read any books at all for recreation. I'm a great believer that certain books, much like music, seem to find you at certain stages in your life.

I'd start with what kind of books you normally enjoy? Then see if anyone can suggest anything that takes your fancy.

Can you put your finger on why this is?
Are they not challenging enough, are you bored of the subject matter, too difficult, badly written - what?
I'd try a different genre - if you've bought a load of novels, buy a travel book, or history/biography/something that'll make you laugh/a book on beekeeping etc.
