I am trying to get into reading and I started with Brave New World, I have been reading the book for a year and have about 60 pages remaining. Before anyone mentions I am aware it is a small book that can be finished in a week, I am not used to reading. I normally read short stories, comics, and manga. I finshed the machine stops quickly, but I couldn’t get into Brave New World, it has a lot of boring parts.

After finishing Brave New World should I read the Tempest, the main character made me interested in the story. I only read one other shakespeare book Romeo and Juliet the sparksnote version, it was great.

    Movie novelizations and published screenplays used to be a lot more popular when I was a kid. I read lots of movies, from Adventures in Babysitting (novel) to Raiders of the Lost Ark (screenplay). And we used to pass around Monty Python scripts like .mp4s.
