I am trying to get into reading and I started with Brave New World, I have been reading the book for a year and have about 60 pages remaining. Before anyone mentions I am aware it is a small book that can be finished in a week, I am not used to reading. I normally read short stories, comics, and manga. I finshed the machine stops quickly, but I couldn’t get into Brave New World, it has a lot of boring parts.

After finishing Brave New World should I read the Tempest, the main character made me interested in the story. I only read one other shakespeare book Romeo and Juliet the sparksnote version, it was great.

    What else are you interested in?

    Fantasy, sci-fi, romance, etc

    The tempest is fine. I find it was successful getting back into reading when I started reading something I was nerdy about. So I started with sanderson and it just hooked me.

    I had not had that experience with Shakespeare.

      I honestly don’t like romance, but I liked Romeo and Juliet. So I guess it depends on the story, but I mainly lean towards sci-fi and fantasy.

      Some books read: Animal Farm, The Machine Stops, Around the world in 80 Days, And The hunger games book 1.
