I had taken a pretty long break from reading for leisure. I read Lord of the Rings in high school and was convinced I’d never find something that enjoyable ever again. Then I read Dune and it really got me back into reading again. I also tackled the Mistborn trilogy and then the Stormlight Archive shortly after. There are also some other books by this same author that I picked up, such as Warbreaker. Then I read the first 3 of the Red Rising books (I am waiting for the author to finish the series before I continue). Then Dungeon Crawler Carl, and am now working my way through Wheel of Time. Some of this was fueled by me swapping out my time I spent on Reddit to reading books and a lot of it was just enjoying books once I actually picked them up again. All this to say… Try Dune! If it feels confusing at first, just keep reading. Or you can go into a more YA/easy read of Mistborn. Which is basically medieval fantasy. Think French Revolution era but with magic.

    I read Dune this year and it was so good. Just unbelievably smooth prose with lots of complexity. I was only able to read the first two without needing a break for something else though
