Maybe start with classic children literature, like Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland, etc.
>>
>>8221834
Alice in Wonderland is a great suggestion. It is easy to read and understand. The story and the writing are also quite good.
>>
>>8220795
Start with the mesopotamians.
>>
>>8220795
Start with the Greeks

I would also recommend one of the shortened up versions of Les Miserables.

Since you decided to make a shitty rec thread instead of doing any of these things, I think it's too late for you to stop being retarded.

>>8220795
It's hard to start reading if you don't enjoy what you're reading. Find something that sounds interesting first. Then start to expand your perpective. Learning to read first will help you enjoy reading the boring or uninteresting books. You'll start to appreciate them. You will take something from them.
