The essayist's suggest trying new genres, new authors, etc. That's not really the direction that I tend to go. I will frequently go with an old favorite. That seems to break the mood for me and let me enjoy books that I was struggling with before.
What say you? Have you had the problem with Reader's Block? If so, how do you get past it?

I googled reading lists of my favorite authors and bought some of their recommendations. Glad I did for I am now enjoying books I would normally not think much of
