Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get into reading, but here's the thing:
I've never actually read a full book for leisure. The only books l've ever come close to finishing were school assignments, and those always felt like such a chore to me. After years of short-form content, movies, and TV shows, I feel like my attention span and cognitive abilities have taken a hit, and I really want to change that. Recently, I tried picking up Frankenstein because it's a book l've always wanted to read… and I quickly realized where my reading skills actually are. The language was way more complex than I expected, and that experience made me realize I need to build up my reading ability first.
I really want to be able to appreciate what I read, not just get through it. I'm into fiction, fantasy, thrillers, mysteries, and sci-fi, but I'm basically a complete beginner when it comes to reading for a leisure. If you have recommendations for books that are engaging, easy to follow, and good for someone building up their reading muscles, l'd love to hear them. Also, if there are any books that help improve reading skills or comprehension, that would be great too. (As I hope to become a proficient reader, one day.)
Thanks in advance!
