Answer 1

The five people you'll meet in heaven by mitch albom

Answer 2

Just try different genres until you find what's right for you. You're not gonna like everything you read. Even an avid reader like myself has books that are half-read and tossed away. Do you like sports? Try a book that incorporates sports into the story. Maybe you'll find that later on you like a genre you didn't like before. Like art? Try books that use art.
Maybe you're trying books that don't give enough visual details, or maybe books that give so many details the story becomes bogged down with them. Browse. Read the first paragraph or scan through books you find at the library or bookstore and see if they are interesting to you.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

A few great short story collections would do the trick. The ones listed down below is quite intriguing, well-written without being boring. As well as entertaining but still high quality. Also if you get bored by you can switch from book to book between stories. I would recommend
1-Fancies and Good nights by John Collier-Funny. easily engrossing, I had to have reread each story dozens of times.
2-House without Doors by Peter Straub-Great Writing-creative & daring. Great Characters One of favorite collections
3-Angry Candy by Harlan Ellison -Entertaining and still Thought provocative. And the great thing is that they are pretty popular works so it is not hard getting them in a used book store or straight off of Amazon as used paperbacks Very Cheaply.

Answer 5

I read thru all the recommendations and I didn't see DAVID SEDARIS' name mentioned. He writes humor that is mostly autobiographical. His tales are inspired by his strange family (likely no stranger than our very own). He writes with wit and an endearing honesty, all the time showing his life, even at its most dismal moments, with great humor. Any time I have been down I have turned to Mr. Sedaris for relief. His stories are short and would be a great way of getting back into the swing of reading again. I would mail the books to you if I still had them, however any book I have ever owned of his have been given to friends to help spread the joy!

Answer 6

One of the most fascinating books I've read is THE IMMORTAL by JJ Dewey. It's one of those impossible to put down until you reach the end books. An added plus is that it's available to read free of charge at www.freeread.com . Some heavy reading is the Alice A Bailey books. THE GIVER is a great book also if you want something shorter.

Answer 7

I cant finish long books either. I usually go to Borders or B&N and look for books in subjects that interest me. Then I check out how they are written to see if I thinK I would finish them.

I dont think I would finish War and Peace but I could ist down and read the entire book called the Emotional Energy Factor in one sitting. So grab about 10 books in the bookstore that are about interests YOU have, look through them and make your best guess at which one you think you might finish. or you might find like I do that you can be satified with just a few chapters.

But pick subjects that interest you!

Answer 8

Try a book of short stories - that should do the trick. They are easy to read (less than a chapter in a novel) and usually ge to the point quickly! There are some good yearly anthologies out there available at good bookstores or online. Have fun!

Answer 9

I like reading James Patterson Craddle and All, Cat & Mouse, See How They Run, Season of the Machete, Hide and Seek, Jack and Jill, Miracle on the 17th Green, When the Wind Blows, Pop Goes the Weasel and many more. If you like your kids books some of these titles should grab your attention.
