I don’t know why, but I can read a non-fiction book cover to cover, but lose interest in fiction books after one chapter.

I want to get into fiction books but have yet to find any that have been able to keep my attention.

Any suggestions or tips??

    I really really struggle with it too, luckily my partner is a writer and reads fiction pretty voraciously. If you can reach out to a friend who reads a lot of fiction and they know you well, they may be able to point you in a good direction. Otherwise, I’m a fan of just going all out, as weird or shocking as possible, to help hold your attention. My partner had me read Blood and Guts in High School by Kathy Acker and it really opened up fiction for me again after years of not being interested.
