look at Catcher in the Rye by Salinger, Death of Ivan Ilyich by Tolstoy, and Slaughterhouse-Five by Vonnegut, and pick whichever seems most appealing.

What the devil is that thing and why does it have a penis on its head? Is this one of those "animes" people keep posting about? (I'm sorry I haven't bought a movie, or "rented" one in years.) It looks like something horrible out Burroughs and its making my stomach hurt...

start with fightclub and set it as ypur standard for how much you should enjoy a book in order to see it through. it would be a mistake to pick up something daunting, like paradise lost or war and peace to start and force yourself to slog through it. always have fun reading and you will read quite a bit.

Start with Dr Seuss, then Roald Dahl and Goosebumps. Give your brain some exercise with Alice in Wonderland and The Phantom Tollbooth. For your graduation test, read The Hobbit. Once that's done, congratulations, you are as good a reader as the average /lit/ user.

An encyclopedia that covers general knowledge
if you have never read anything before you most likely don't know anything
