I did an interview last week with Dr.Martin Jacobsen who suggested that the best way to get back into reading was to pick some “slow rabbits.” The idea is to pick a few books that are easier, interesting, and will not weigh you down. So, I thought I would create a list of 9 easier books that help me get back into reading when I fall out of the habit. Enjoy!
