For context, I'm 25, and haven't seriously read a book probably since the 3rd grade. I fully understand that not reading at all is incredibly bad for a multitude of reasons, and at this point in my life I want to make the jump into the world of books.
I have so far read Animal Farm which was a great book.
I started reading the Handmaids Tale and have realized that my reading comprehension is SO low that I'm having a hard time reading it.
What books would you guys recommend for me? I don't exactly have a large array of book genres I like since I haven't read much but I love dystopian shows and movies so I feel like something along the lines of "bad things happening" would be good
Thank you!

Dude you picked probably one of the hardest dystopian books to start with lol. Handmaid’s Tale is dense as hell
Try Fahrenheit 451 or The Giver – way easier to get through but still hit that dystopian vibe you’re looking for. 1984 is also solid once you get your reading legs back
Don’t feel bad about the comprehension thing, it’s literally like a muscle you gotta build back up
2 suggestions.
1) Audiobooks (free from library and elsewhere)
2) We Are Legion (We Are Bob).
