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.

    How would you start reading it? I have tried a few sentences it is hard to grasp. I get the gest that they are in a storm, but it is still confusing.

      I think others have suggested this, but you could use a site like Sparknotes if you need help. There might even be some youtube videos out there that help clarify things.
