I've recently picked up reading for a second time, after being an avid reader when I was younger.
Like any habit, start small and keep at it for a while ! I started by reading more long form articles on any subject I was interested in, or reading Wikipedia articles when I wanted to find some information. I then moved into a few 100 pages ish novels (Roadside Picnic is a great sci-fi read) and short stories (Stephen King is great, things like Running man for example), and then I found one larger book at a time that I wanted to get through, while reading shorter stories and articles every day or so. Focus on being interested in the book and the way it's written more so than what you are getting out of it - you'll get there!
I'd love to give you recommendations if you have any things that interest you!
