You've just typed a sentence, it's the same as really.

Even though I’d agree if OP was looking to get into ‘more serious books’, I think he would be better off just starting with something lowbrow, maybe something adventurous and comfy, to make them interested in books in the first place.

Take the Veeky Forums top 100 (pic related) and read any book on it that’s also on the Veeky Forums starter kit (easily findable on google). Read those first, then read the remaining list in order from first to last creating (so starting with the Greeks, then the Romans, then the Bible, all going up until you read Jerusalem). I made this into a list and I’ll find it in a second

Unironically is the new literally
Joseph Garcia
I wanna see OP go straight to reading that top ten having never read a book in his life
Unironically OP just start off with something dumb and easy to get used to reading. Won’t be a popular opinion but I say just read some genre fiction that sounds interesting to you, fantasy scifi horror whatever.
At most read an easy classic that everyone has to read in high school. 1984, Animal Farm, Catcher in the Rye, Fahrenheit 451, To Kill a Mockingbird etc

>And Hal played tennis really well against John Wayne and they were both really good at tennis and Hal was hitting it inside the lines and they were having a really good game of tennis. Suddenly, as Hal thought he was going to lose he began to play well again because he’s good at tennis, but then John Wayne served the ball so well that Hal was no longer able to hit it because John Wayne has a more complete game than Hal. John Wayne won the match 7-2. Hal was so depressed by this he went and smoked weed.

Adam Sullivan
1984 is a great for book for experienced and new readers alike.
Evan Ross
A heavily illustrated book that broadly covers many subjects in science.
Learn literal truth before metaphorical wisdom so you can distinguish it from useless trash.

Don't know if you've read The Painted Bird, but it has the kind of human suffering that you might have loved in Come and See or the Werckmeister Harmonies.
Also Quiroga. Any short story collection you can find.
Alexander Mitchell
>Ye All Would Have
Samuel Rogers
Y'all'd've is a pretty valid contraction, I think.
>You all would have
Pretty solid.
Anthony Sullivan
It may be valid but it sounds too silly to actually use. Sometimes being technically correct just makes you a weirdo
Jacob Reed
