If immersing yourself in longer works of fiction feels challenging, you might consider exploring short stories across different genres. I would particularly suggest something like Asimov. Plays by people like Oscar Wilde (Lady Windermere's Fan comes to mind) could also fill this niche.
Another idea could be poetry. I particularly love romantic poetry (referring to the era and style here, not the genre) which is on the longer side. So, maybe W.B.Yeats[Second Coming], John Keats[Endymion, Hyperion], P.B. Shelly[Hymn to Intellectual Beauty].
These formats are in stark contrast to a novel in that their "plots" are simpler to digest, and these are often shorter, focusing much more on how the reader experiences themes and emotions.
