Yeah, I’d recommend reading books for fun first-and-foremost.

I read a bunch of technical and self-help books when I got my first job because I thought it would help my career, and it was AWFUL. I barely used anything I learned. It was so boring.

Now, I read purely for fun. I would say the split is 70% fiction, 20% technical, 10% anything else. Even though I read less technical books, they are immensely more useful because I find them interesting enough to actually apply the concepts.
