I was in same boat as you, here is what I did.

I did not want to jump on wagon of Audible and online GoodReads etc.. instead -- I went to my local Library , signed up for free.
They provided me with Audio and Online Cloud Library access that I can listen and read on my devices wherever I am for FREE.. on top of it all I also borrowed few hard copy humor books as I wanted to start enjoying my reading on positive level, vs going to read some fiction crime books.

My fav that I read few years back is Project Phoenix, it is for anyone that is in IT industry.

Once you like all of that, and want to go for more 'recent' books, then go to amazon and audible etc.. as some mentioned.

The book i will read next is :

How to Make Friends and Influence People

I will suggest you to check it out. As you are currently into books reading unlike me. You may find it good.

Great to know you overcome it and made your habit.

Actually, i am more interested in reading the paper books rather than audible or online for:

  1. I need to improve English vocabulary.
  2. To save myself from eye-strain issues as i use computer in office and research purposes for my Masters.

What are your suggestions to build that habit.
