[quote=Anonymous]I usually reread a Jane Austen novel when I'm in a slump. It sounds like you have been reading books that are a little too easy/accessible. Maybe you need to mix it up with something that's a little challenging or requires some work and concentration. Then going back to the more fun and easy page turners feels rewarding. Or maybe too much of the same style of book? Here are a few that are off the beaten path that I really liked. In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden - it's about nuns, but really it's about relationships in a closed community. I loved it. A Month in the Country by J.L. Carr - a quiet book about a ma post-WWI who goes to uncover a mural in a small town The Book of Ebenezer Le Page - quirky book about a man telling about is life on the island of Guernsey Excellent Women by Barbara Pym - if you like Jane Austen, try this 1950s British author.
