Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a book that would help my girlfriend back to reading. She’s never been a frequent reader but she told me that she now has the motivation to read more. To do so she needs a book that would keep her invested.
She’s looking for books with inspiring stories of people going through social experiences, involved in great causes, learning about themselves, books that might be autobiographical (not necessarily though), books that would surprise her emotionally I think.
Personally, I think she never came across that one book or author that kept her reading and kept her going til the end. She didn’t finished a fair amount of books before. She might just be stuck with this idea of a book she’s looking for, that I described above. So with that being said, I’m also looking for good recs that just fall into that purpose of helping someone read again, and enjoying that. If you know someone that went through the same thing, that found a specific book I’m open to it.
However, if you have something in mind, you should keep it under 500 pages or she’s going to freak out.
I wish I could do it myself but I’m into Fantasy, SF and Noir and she’s clearly not into that kind of stuff.
Thank you in advance!

Here’s another one tonight where I think The Parable of the Sower fits the bill
But if she “freaks out” over a book that’s more than 500 pages, what’s the point?
I used to read tons, up to the point of owning well over 300 books, but for some reason I love my love in reading in lockdown.
So for the last year I’ve started on Audible which has brought me back to loving stories and I’m slowly getting back onto physical books, but not quite there yet.
Audio books have made it easier to enjoy a book whilst also getting other things done around the house, going for walks is the park and sometimes they help me sleep at night.
