I am trying to get into reading and I started with Brave New World, I have been reading the book for a year and have about 60 pages remaining. Before anyone mentions I am aware it is a small book that can be finished in a week, I am not used to reading. I normally read short stories, comics, and manga. I finshed the machine stops quickly, but I couldn't get into Brave New World, it has a lot of boring parts.

After finishing Brave New World should I read the Tempest, the main character made me interested in the story. I only read one other shakespeare book Romeo and Juliet the sparksnote version, it was great.

You don't have to finish every book you start.

It's easier to read books you enjoy than books you don't.

These are free science fiction ebooks that are sorted by length. Start small and gradually build up to longer works.

Since they are free, you won't feel an obligation to finish them if you do not enjoy them.
