If you haven’t read The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, then you are in for an amazing treat. Tolkien’s epic adventure series shaped the fantasy genre and even to this day, authors are using the format that he created. This series will definitely get you hooked and out of your reading slump.
Maybe you aren’t a fan of typical fantasy novels. Then you might be more likely to read Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Romantasy novels have become one of the most popular genres and authors like Mass and Rebecca Yarros are leading the charge. This series has a bunch of books so you will be reading for a month or two minimum.
This list includes two classics that I really loved and can see why people chose them. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is one of my favorite classics and one that made me enjoy classics more.
And if you want to laugh or be inspired to travel to New Orleans, then you have to read A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. This novel is a hidden gem and needs to be read by more people because it is an adventure.
If these novels aren’t to your liking, you can read novels from beloved authors such as Kristin Hannah, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and Emily Henry. No matter what you choose, this list will make sure that you are reading again.

Great post! When folks ask me what to read to get out of a reading slump (and they do), I usually suggest something short, like anything by Claire Keegan. Short books can be less daunting. But your method works, too.
Very true!
