Start with young adult page turner (hunger games, Enders game, Harry Potter, etc.) or just a topic you’re interested in. Do you like movies? Do you like TV shows? How do you pick which one to watch? Same basic principal, just with more words
Audiobooks, OP. I ❤️ my Audible Platinum subscription. Huge selection and you can go from listening on your computer to the car via the mobile app without missing a word. And if you start a book and don’t like it you can return it and retain the credit.
Seriously how is this even possible ?
I read so much for work that I’ve also never read a fiction for pleasure as an adult
Game of Thrones -- The Complete Series
The actual name of the book series is A Song of Fire and Ice. It’s a pretty complex read, I wouldn’t particularly recommend it for a person easing into reading.
If you wanted to try a Sci Fi, I’d suggest Ender’s Game. It’s usually categorized in Young Adult fiction, but it’s a great story and the other two books following it are much more complex and get into some pretty deep subjects. A teenager would like Ender’s Game but would quickly lose patience with the second book.
Slightly distressing but.. start with Harry Potter maybe?
The idea of being able to read Harry Potter for the first time is anything but distressing! 👏👏👏
Does “read a book” actually refer to reading a book or what’s up here?
If you've never read a book before, maybe start with Dr. Seuss like the rest of us?
Start with easy page turners (think Dan Brown type of thing) and get a few books under your belt before trying something like Game of Thrones.
Matt Reilly is super easy to read and entertaining as all hell. Be warned, though, that you’ll be left with a difficult to satisfy itch when you’re done with the catalogue.
Jack Reacher.
Roots ✊🏾
I also don’t read. But recently I started to manage people and started reading the HBR books
I’ve been reading a lot of Peppa Pig lately. Love to get lost in the one where Daddy Pigs T-shirt turns pink after a wash. Next week I’ll probably be cracking on with the Mr Men series.
Reading is boring. Just watch documentaries
Read classics... Hemingway
The Nightingale
A Gentleman in Moscow
The Book Thief
Sharp Objects
The Girl on the train - fun and easy read
Please try Japanese manga (in English of course)
Smaller complete ones are great ways to spend a weekend, while the longer multi-saga epics are easy entertaining reads week after week
I'd recommend starting with Death note, Full Metal Alchemist and maybe even start following an ongoing one like My Hero Academia
Thank you so very much guys for all the suggestions guys, def going to look into a couple and get reading!
I don’t care for Stephen King as a person, but he’s one heck of an author. Most of his more popular novels would be good choices, even if the length of them looks daunting.
If you like learning factual knowledge but want a fictional story, Tom Clancy novels are great for that—you feel like you learned a lot about whatever technology or other subject the book is about, and it’s pretty good at holding your attention. They also tend to be a lot of pages though.
What have you typically read in the past?
If Humpty Dumpty was a book I would have recommended that to you!
Bit of a surprise ending to that one as well
