I actually disagree with the common advice to go for thrillers or super fast-paced stuff. Sometimes the pressure to be 'gripped' can feel like another chore. What worked for me during a years-long slump were short story collections, like 'Stories of Your Life and Others' by Ted Chiang. Each one is a complete, fascinating idea, and you can finish one in a sitting. There's no commitment to a 400-page plot.

Or pick an essay collection by someone like David Sedaris. It's funny, observational, and broken into digestible bits. The goal isn't to 'finish a novel' but to enjoy a few pages. That low barrier eliminated the mental block I had. Once I remembered that reading could just be... fun, without a grand goal, I naturally wanted more.

Man, I think everyone overcomplicates this. A book that genuinely hooks a reluctant adult doesn't have to be 'important' or 'literary.' It just needs to feel like a reward, not homework. I convinced my brother, who hadn't finished a book since high school, to read 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir. The science stuff is cool, but the real pull is the friendship between the main characters. It's structured almost like a puzzle being solved, with clear progress and high stakes, which makes it impossible to put down.

Forget trying to start with a classic that feels daunting. Find something with immediate momentum, a voice that feels like someone interesting talking to you, and chapters that end with you wanting to know what happens next. Audiobooks count, too! Listening to a great narrator during a commute can be the perfect gateway.

Graphic novels were my secret weapon. 'Maus' by Art Spiegelman or 'Persepolis' by Marjane Satrapi have serious depth, but the visual narrative does so much heavy lifting. You absorb the story through images and text together, which feels less intimidating than a wall of prose. They're substantial, respected works, so you don't feel like you're 'cheating.' They proved to me that powerful storytelling doesn't only live in traditional novels.

What is a good book for beginner reader adults?

If you're just dipping your toes into the world of books, I'd absolutely recommend 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho. It's this magical little story about following your dreams, and the writing is so simple yet profound that it feels like a warm hug. The protagonist's journey is easy to follow, but it still leaves you with a lot to ponder. I lent my copy to a friend who hadn't read a book since high school, and she finished it in one sitting—now she's hooked on reading! Another great pick is 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman. It's got humor, heart, and a protagonist who feels so real you'll want to be her friend. The pacing is perfect for beginners, with short chapters that make it easy to pick up and put down. Plus, it tackles heavy themes with a light touch, which keeps it from feeling overwhelming.

What are the best books to get back into reading for adults?

I remember falling out of reading for a while because life got too busy, but 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho brought me back. It’s short, philosophical, and feels like a warm hug. The story follows a shepherd boy chasing his dreams, and it’s so easy to get lost in. Another great one is 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman. It’s funny, heartfelt, and about finding connection in the weirdest places. If you want something light but gripping, 'The Martian' by Andy Weir is perfect—it’s sci-fi but reads like a thriller with a sarcastic protagonist who makes you laugh while stranded on Mars. These books aren’t dense, and they remind you why stories matter.
