Anything by Lee, Miller, Pierce, or Pratchett is for one or another online reading group, which all have fixed schedules of, like, three chapters a week or something, so reading them is not actually much of a time commitment and it's possible to get a rhythm going. Slow and steady, like.

And don't tell anyone, but fanfic is one of the things I turn to when things are getting stressful at work. (What the length of this list says about my work environment, I decline for the moment to consider.)
