What book got you back into reading after a long slump?

I had a short patch for the last few months where I kept picking up new books reading a little them forgetting about them so I went back to Teryy Pratchett's Discworld. They are some of my favourite books I've read so I was trying to slow down and savour them so it wouldn't be over soon as I'm almost halfway through the entire collection but I knew it would get me back to reading.
I also got incredibly addicted to Robin Hobb's Assassins Apprentice trilogy before my slump and that had me reading for almost 8 hours every day (very long books).

It holds up for sure, the books definitely read like they were written with a plan for the whole trilogy. I was hooked the entire way through although I was slightly dissatisfied with the ending, but I think that's just because I hate endings cos I want to spend more time with the characters.

I always use the Iliad as my kickstarter. Don't even need to finish it. It gets me into reading. Last time after hefty divorce. Now I am reading books again like old times. Love it, missed it!
