27 Highly Readable Books to Jumpstart Your Reading Habit

One of the most important steps in starting to read again is to find the right books.
Finding good books to read for adults doesn't mean following a list of books that some authority says "everyone must read" or forcing yourself to slog through only the "most important books to read."
Those lists don't always include the most readable books, or the best books for beginners. Many of these books are great, to be sure, but they just aren't the best place to start. Because let's face it: reading can be a little like running.
You've been doing it your whole life, but it still takes practice to get in a groove of doing it regularly. So thinking of yourself as a beginner is okay, and will help lead you to the best books for you to start a reading habit.
