I've found myself reading more non fiction and self help in the last few years. I still love fiction but I think I just approach the medium slightly differently now that I have less time to read than I did in my early 20s and worked at a bookstore. I also think working at a bookstore made me approach books more from the perspective of if I could sell it to someone, so it was hard for me to digest books that were very personal in that respect.
A book club or starting a review blog (even if it's just for you) might make reading fiction more compelling again for you. I found that reading books while thinking about how I would sell them made me more competitive about my read count and more tolerant of books that didnt resonate with me specifically. But if you're not feeling fiction then that's also fine lol
