Reading slumps — how do you get out of one?
I haven't finished a book in six weeks. Everything I start feels wrong. Classic symptoms of a reading slump. What do you do when you can't read?

Switch format. If you've been reading long novels try short stories or essays. Different cognitive load.
Reread a comfort book. For me that's always a romance I know I love. It resets the pleasure of reading without requiring effort.
Stop forcing it. Give yourself permission to not read for a week. The desire always comes back.
