Book suggestions?
So, Iv never been much of a reader. I want to get into reading, however Iv found that most books i can’t get into reading (I start but never finish them). I was wondering if anyone has a good book that will keep me reading to the end. (Science fiction is my more liked genre)

I'd recommend "The October Country" by Ray Bradbury. It was my favourite book when I was a boy. If you like it, you can move on to some of Bradbury's other short story collections, and then on to his novels.
