Something that might appeal are books related to tv shows you enjoy. I find they are comfortabe reads as you know the character and can just get on with the stories.

 

For example, I'm a Doctor Who and Torchwood fan, so have read and enjoyed quite a few stories relating to the shows. :smile:

Hi John, you might like to try the Quick Reads books. This is from their introduction page explaining what they're all about:

 

Quick Reads are bite sized books by big name authors and celebrities. They are perfect to engage people with reading as they are short and use clear language but still have fast-paced, brilliant storylines.

 

Quick Reads can be a more satisfying alternative to a magazine or newspaper. They are easy to read and there is a great range of titles to choose from.

You can buy them online or from some bookshops and supermarkets or you can borrow them from your local library. At £1.99, they cost less than a DVD!

It might be a good idea to start with some short stories. Stephen King has some good collections if you like your horror at all. Skeleton Crew is my favourite collection but most of them have good stuff in them. 

 

I also agree with Chrissy. Starting with a few tv shows or films you enjoy that are based on books can make getting into reading a lot easier. Fight Club or I Am Legend for example are excellent books and quite short, only a couple of hundred pages.
