If you like the Daily Show, I highly recommend Born a Crime by Trevor Noah. It's an interesting and well-written memoir, but not too long or overly ambitious.
I suggest this because my grandmother (who had to leave school in 6th grade and so didn't read much until adulthood) loved biographies and autobiographies of celebrities. Non-fiction in general might be a better choice for someone who reads magazines but not books.

I agree. I was thinking that OP said she (he?) likes sports and mysteries, and that is exactly what John Grisham likes to write about.

Nick Hornby is a good intro to novels for someone into sports. Also recommend Harlan Coben.

I know JK Rowling is no longer - well, you know. But I actually think Harry Potter is a great book to get people to aren't really into reading, into reading.

I suggested Harlem Coben and I agree that Linwood Barclay is another good place to start.Anonymous wrote:If you like murder mysteries, I'm going to second Harlan Coban- his books are easy to get into and well plotted. Along those lines, also consider Linwood Barclay- his newest "Take Your Breath Away" is involving and fast paced.
I like both of these authors because I think they're decent writers on top of authoring "page turners." Once you get into the habit of reading for enjoyment, you can go for higher stamina novels.
I'm also assuming when you say "never read a book" that you don't read for pleasure. These two authors should get you started.

That’s hard without knowing your interests or interest in committing to a long book. But:
Prodigal Summer by Kingsolver.
A Lesson Before Dying by Gaines
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I also really like A Gentleman in Moscow and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

If you want something short and fun to start, maybe The Hunger Games. Although you probably have already seen the movie.
Audiobooks are another option if you’re having a hard time sitting down to read. I listen to them everywhere - in the car, while I’m doing laundry, making dinner, etc.
