Good books for a non-book reader?

I'm a non-book reader too (not huge on fiction) and To Kill A Mocking Bird was my first fiction book, I then followed with a recommendation from another non-book reader: Michael Marshall Smith - Only Forward, Spares, One Of Us.

He writes under Michael Marshall too but it's the Michael Marshall Smith books you want to try first as they're not too heavy to read but still interesting ideas, they're weird sci-fi thrillers with a nice arch. http://amzn.to/2hz2YvP

If you find you like that sort of genre you may like Fairyland by Paul J. McAuley, and Jeff Noon books like Vert or Pollen - in the more sci-fi genre try an Amazon search for S.F. Masterworks for some ideas, honestly it's a good idea to find a book you like on Amazon then look at 'people also bought' because there's a world of suggestions.

If looking at culturally relevant books try more by Orwell and also the likes of The Screwtape Letters by C.S.Lewis, and for more modern culturally relevant books try The Dice Man by George Cockcroft, Hunter S. Thompson work like Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. If you're into sci-fi obviously Hitchhikers. If you're into fantasy obviously GoT.

If you want a really light read: Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman

One book that really stood out to me and felt real was How To Lead A Life Of Crime by Kirsten Miller. The main character has a very factual, no bullsht voice, and although he does end up going to a school for troubled, yet successful kids like him, the cliches are minimal, I promise. It is a darker book, with murder and stuff, but it is portrayed in a factual way - not in a horror way. I loved this book and would even take it on walks with me to read while I was walking :) Hope you check it out, and I hope you enjoy it :)

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline ! It's like the ultimate book for video game players, it's great. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff is awesome too

The Red Rising trilogy is an amazing book by Pierce Brown.

Maybe you should read 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' by Walter M. Miller, Jr.

For straight reality fiction try Dangerous Days and Blades both by J. William Turner. The main characters are teens but most of the situations are adult

You might like stories by Isaac Asimov. Most of his stuff is about robots. He wrote "I Robot", but the movie of the same name is actually based on another book he wrote called "The Caves of Steel".

'ulusseys' by James Joyce is a terrific and easy read

Hmm! Try tapes or CDs

The Great Gatsby is an easy read.
