Hmmm. I wonder if it's really all that bad to be in a 'reading funk'? Reading is a hobby (unless you're reading for classes, ugh), and hobbies are things you do for enjoyment. If you're not getting enjoyment out of reading but you are a reader, just... do what your wandering hobby mind tells you to do! Pick something else up for a while.

When I'm NOT reading or I feel like I just read a bucket load and need a mental break before I start mixing characters (this happens to me all the time - I can't be the only one), I do logic puzzles or Sudokus because I love them, also. Sometimes I play a video game on my boyfriend's Xbox. I've actually been doing that lately, come to think of it. I've been playing a game when I would usually be reading.

If you're dead set on getting back to reading right away, here's what I would do. Go to the library/bookstore/whatever and just browse for a while. When something pops out at you, carry it around with you. Eventually you might have a few books with you to pick from, and then just read them. It doesn't matter if it's something you would usually read or if it's something new. The fact that out of an entire bookstore or library, that ONE book popped at you means something, right? That's how I'd go about it!
