The RedbreastJo Nesbo Did you finish the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books and wish that there were more books set in a frozen dystopian socialist nightmare with sex crimes and ne-onazis around every corner, but maybe with better editing and characters instead of obnoxious unrealistic caricatures?

East of Eden is the best. And so is The Grapes of Wrath.
LoveLoveLove Steinbeck.
Also, maybe you read a lot of papers and it felt like a lot of reading, but it just wasn't book reading. That sounds like something you would do.
