I find I get the most pleasure out of reading when I'm able to be absorbed into the book for at least thirty minutes, because otherwise it feels like watching a movie in ten minute chunks at random times over the course of a month. When I've been out of practice on reading for a while, it also helps me to start with easier novels that I can burn through in a couple sittings, like Michael Crichton or Stephen King, because they get me back into the mood of reading, and it lights the desire. One of my favorite things in the world is when a book's got such a grip on you that all you want to do in your spare time is read it, so reminding myself of that feeling is a great way to get the momentum going again.

It's funny, I actually prefer older paperbacks specifically because the text is smaller and denser. It drives me crazy when I go to pick up a book hold at the library and it's a copy where the text is printed like this with great big margins and what could have been a hundred page book is now a massive floppy tome of prose printed like a bad self- published poetry collection. The ones that really drive me crazy are the weirdly tall, thin paperbacks, because they're hard to read with one hand (topheavy but also the page to spine ratio is off so it doesn't hold itself open like a proportionally wider copy does).
