The Skies of Pern by Anne McCaffrey. I've had it for years in hard cover but just never read it.
Odeon, I may understand your reading woes. After I finished uni, I was all read out. Sooooo much reading I did while I was there, my brain had had enough of it. It's only in recent months that I have started reading again and actually enjoying it. I'm not as quick as I once was though.
