Three ways to recover from a reading slump:

1. Read something from your childhood.  Especially useful for rediscovering the joy you felt while reading as a kid.

2. Read something from your to-read list.  Gets you back in the habit and jump starts a desire to read all the books in your to-read list.

3. Read something you think you’ll hate.  Either you’ll hate it want to read something else you like right away, or you’ve just found a new genre to enjoy.

Congratulations. You’re about to read another book ✌

Where do you get your fantastic ideas from? You steal them. You steal them from reality. It outstrips fantasy most the time.
