Honestly, I think the medium matters as much as the book. A really well-designed ebook or a comfortable paperback can make the physical act of reading more pleasant. That sensory experience becomes part of the ritual you look forward to.

Seek out award-winning short story writers like George Saunders. ‘Tenth of December’ is a collection where every story is a tiny, perfect, often heartbreaking engine of humanity. Saunders finds the profound in the bizarre. You’ll need a moment to recover after each one.
That emotional impact, however small the package, ensures the reading session matters. It’s not filler. Knowing each story will leave a mark makes you prioritize the time for it.

A book of micro-fictions or flash fiction can be revolutionary for a habit. ‘The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis’ features stories that are sometimes only a sentence or two long. It completely reframes what reading can be—a momentary, concentrated burst of meaning.
On days when even 20 minutes feels impossible, you can still read one or two pieces and feel engaged. It eliminates the ‘all or nothing’ mindset that often breaks habits before they start.

Don’t sleep on modern novellas circulating on platforms like Tor.com. Authors like N.K. Jemisin write stunning, award-winning short fiction that’s available digitally. They’re contemporary, relevant, and pack a novel’s worth of ideas into a hundred pages.
It feels like you’re part of the current conversation. Finishing a sharp, modern story gives you a hit of cultural currency alongside the satisfaction of completion. It makes the habit feel connected to the present.

Pick something with a compelling anti-hero or morally complex protagonist. ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ is a novella that explores duality in a way that’s still terrifying. You’re drawn in by the psychological unraveling as much as the plot.
Complex characters give you something to ponder between readings. You’ll find yourself analyzing their choices during your day, which naturally pulls you back to the book to see what they do next. It extends the engagement.
