I'd go with something more specific that gets you out of your comfort zone a bit. Like reading a classic in a genre you usually don't touch, picking up a recent award-winning book, trying an audiobook, or even putting aside a book you're not enjoying.

Putting aside a book I’m not enjoying is definitely out of my comfort zone. I’ll force myself to stick with it. Stuck with a 500ish page novel once thinking it would get better, it didn’t. I like the idea of reading a book in a genre you don’t normally read.
I know exactly how you feel—it's something novel (pun intended) for me as well, but I do dread reading a book I don't enjoy, so it takes me longer to finish and ends up costing me much more in opportunity to read something better and more enjoyable. So I decided to really start doing it this year.
