* Read fiction. Start with a genre that interests you.
* Books only feel like a big time investment because you are not used to read a single thing for more than 20 minutes. If you read for one hour each day, you should be able to finish a book in a week (on average). People often greatly over-estimate the amount of time they actually read (an ebook reader will tell you the hard truth).
* It is normal to forget lots of things you read. That's ok.
* Don't spend hours on GoodReads/Amazon/etc. to decide what to read. Just start reading.
