I'm starting to read after a very long time - it has been decades, since I've "read" anything properly. Can I get a good recommendation?

The Sun Also Rises, by Hemingway.

If you want sci-fi, maybe The End of Eternity by Asimov.

I always recommend anything by Raymond Chandler too.

I'll second this and add Hemingway's "the old man and the sea". Great when you just want a simple story.
