What book would you recommend...?

I don't think it matters what book, but how you approach it. I was considered dyslexic as a child, and got over it mostly by using a place holder card when I read. I still do, if I'm reading aloud to someone else. Just use a 3 x 5 card, or even the edge of your book mark, to underline one line at a time. Don't try to read to yourself faster than you can read aloud. In fact, if you are alone in a room where there's no one else to be disturbed by it, read aloud, at least sub-vocally. It will help you coordinate your eyes with your voice, and get over the eyes' tendency to jump ahead.

Don't be scared off reading some of the classics as well.

For a fast moving book why not try something by Raymond Chandler or Naghuib Mahfouz's the Search- they both are pretty quick reads and short and great fun.

As for fantasy, Pratchett's really good fun, Eddings is great reading too- also I know they are classified as kid's books but the C.S.Lewis stuff is really well written and very easy to deal with.

Thing is that I am dislexic and found reading difficult as did my brother but the more that you read the better you will get at it and dive in.

My husband is Dyslexic and he enjoyed the Elenium and Tamuli series by David Eddings, they are fantasty books which have a great easy going story with plenty of humour n them.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Artemis Fowl Series or Series of Unfortunate Events

Anything by Tony Buzan, but for a general intro to all the stuff he's into (Mind Mapping, Speed Reading, Memory Skills), start with "Use Your Head"

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time" by Mark Haddon. I enjoyed it, it's not too difficult to read and it's not too long or boring. It's aimed at a younger audience, but I found his observations about living with autism interesting and he writes convincingly.

Try King Fortis the Brave - it's a fun fantasy adventure that is not a difficult read.

What about Terry Pratchett The disc world series

Tv set is produced to the lowest common denominator - i.e., the average IQ of the general public, whereas a book is written to the best common denominator
