Reading for Beginners

>The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery.
>The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Not reading anything at all would be better.

>BNW
>high class, cultured reading

>implying you actually finish the book

That sounds like fun, thanks. I might also look at Terry Pratchett or Redwall as I missed the boat on those as a kid.

Just put these on my list, I'll definitely read Lovecraft. I know who he is, but I didn't realise he was a short story author as opposed to a novelist.

>The recommendation is not exactly for beginners on reading, but on high class, cultured reading. Not the same.

That sums up what I'm looking for, yeah. I'm looking for something a little less obvious a recommendation than the fat stacks of Harry Potter books in every bookstore ever, but still something as easy/light (but better).

Are you thinking of the same book? BNW is high school tier dystopian lit. It's not even that long, and the language isn't difficult at all. It's a great book for someone getting back into reading, I know because it was for me, back in like grade 11 when I had no problems reading it.

Try read Brave New World and you'll see for yourself if the recommendations in the infographic are dense or not. If they are then just go for

So you are the designated troll scaring people away from literature? Got it.

I'll read it for sure, I've been aware of it for a long time along with 1984 but I haven't had the chance to read either. The last book I read was either Jurassic Park or something by Edgar Rice Burroughs, both were several years ago.

If you like sci-fi I'd highly recommend pic related

It's the book I read recently to 'get me back into reading' after a few years
