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?

You might want to try The Expanse series of books. They're very straight forward but still are engaging with interesting ideas and they've certainly got volume. The language is simple, in a practical and modern kind of way, without feeling dumbed down. It doesn't use any of the structures that can make a book challenging to follow.
