I haven't read a book in YEARS.. really want to fix that

[constannipple]

When I was younger I used to like to write stories and read a couple books but never full on series like harry potter like most of the kids i knew. i'd read small chapter fiction books.. i dont really remember reading much until high school i read Fahrenheit 451n class and it was the only book in a while that grasped my attention to where i could read (most ) of it. i think i would be into sci fi/dystopian themed books that are really able to intrigue a reader because i DO have focus issues and trying to read a book can be overwhelming for me especially if it starts slow...for a while now i've also wanted to get into philosophy bt have NO CLUE what i'd be into and where to start there.

so where should i start guys?

I would start with what pops out as you browse the library.

Regarding philosophy, there is a good book about Bergson and Einstein by Jimena Canales called "The physicist & the philosopher : Einstein, Bergson, and the debate that changed our understanding of time". The only reason I mention it is if you find it interesting and can find the book this could be the subject of a discussion thread. I know I would participate in it.

from a philosophy perspective, I wonder if you might like sophies world?

I like the dystopian stuff too and have enjoyed the hunger games works, insurgent and maze runner.

Start with short stories perhaps; they rarely "start slow." Or books in the young adult category; they frequently handle fully adult themes but not in a overwhelming way.

Pick an adventure book, I'd say... Even a mystery like Agatha Christie to flex your reading muscles before diving into deeper waters.
