I have been suffering from a reader's block that lasted several years, which I ascribed to stress from my PhD. It's actually picking up again now thanks to increased confidence on my part, a book club at work, and The Time Traveller's Wife.

Having the block caused me a great deal of distress, and I'm glad you may be recoverin from yours. Generally, I recommend to people suffering from it to pick up some light, fun books. Like getting back into a serious loss of appetite by using soups and smoothies that are easy to ingest.
