Book suggestions for a new reader...?

Question

I am thinking to start reading books. Its going to be hard because i dont like reading at all. So please suggest me some books that can be interesting for a starter.

Answer 1

Read some Jane Austen books. Classics. Very old books, great for any kind of reader. Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion.

Also try Harry Potter, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, New Moon, and soon Eclipse, and Anne Rice books.

Answer 2

it depends on how old you are... Laura Ingalls Wilder series are great for anyone, for starters. ;)
read books with interesting covers.... you can usually judge a book by it's cover. literally. and it usually works.
really long, but Gone With the Wind is the best book in the world.. see the movie afterwards. it's amazing.
also read some popular books, too... Harry Potter, Eragon, etc.

follow along an audio tape or something, while looking at the book...it helps a lot.

Answer 3

Where the Red Fern Grows
The Hobbit
Because of Wynn Dixie
A Long Way From Chicago
Marley and Me
Treasure Island
To Kill a Mockingbird
Little Women
A Room of My Own

Answer 4

This depends on your age, so if you are under 18 check with your Mom or Dad or Guardian. These hae been my favorites:
A Secret History by Donna Tart
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
White Oleander by Janet Finch
The Dogs of Babel (sad, but sweet love story)
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Little Alters Everywhere by Rebecca Wells (these are really great books to start with if you like stories about mother/daugthers and relationships).
The Wonderspot by Melissa Banks who also wrote A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing (both very readable, but deal with more mature stuff).
One True Thing by Anna Quindlen
The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
To Save a Fish From Drowning by Amy Tan
Girl Interrupted by Susanna Kaysun

and so many more again depending on your age and what you like. whatever you pick reading is fun and makes you smarter!

Answer 5

Here's a short, funny, fairly simple book that I like to read even though I'm a complete bookworm now: My Brother Louis Measures Worms. I can't remember the author. It's all short stories so you can read it in little sections. Another good book is Surviving the Applewhites by Stephanie S. Tolan. I hope you get into reading. It's improved my grades! :)

Answer 6

Ender's Game (by Orson Scott Card) is a fascinating story about a tiny little boy who saves the world. I've never known anyone to read this book and not like it. Of course, it does have the science fiction thing going... but if you can get past that, it's a wonderful story.

Answer 7

Maybe the Harry Potter series to get you going. They are kinda long but really easy to understand. Try reading in series- it will get you thinking about the next book and you will like reading more. Then you can get into classical books if you want a challenge :D.

Answer 8

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks.....very sweet story

The Lost Years of Merlin by T. A. Barron....fantasy, adventurous

Time for Andrew by Mary Downing Hahn.....blue bonnet reading list, for a younger crowd but still one of my favorite stories

Enchantment by Orson Scott Card

Answer 9

Try The Tome of Adon by Cole Henry. If you like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter you will like this one Ramsel is a great character

Answer 10

I personally like books by V.C. Andrews...or stephen king. Just if your starting out I would start with something like the chicken soup series.
