When you read books earlier in life, you might've had books that were forced on you for your English classes.
When I picked up reading again in 2020 (this was after 6-7 years of not reading anything), I just picked up a book by an author that I'd heard had good pacing.
Since then I've had the opportunity to read books that I find super interesting. If something bores me/i don't find interesting then put it down and move on.
Through this filtering process, you'll find books/authors/genres that you like, and would want to read.
Plus, keeping reading/listening to books as a priority helps out a ton :)
Hope this made sense.
