What kind of fiction do you like? As a sci fi nerd Ender’s Game is the book that made me love reading.

For a lot of people it was Harry Potter or Hunger Games more recently.

Honestly if there’s a movie you love that was adapted from a book give the book a go. You know you like the story - it’s just a more detailed take.

yeah i love all kinds of movies like harry potter, hunger games, lotr, and some sci-fi stuff. i loved harry potter growing up so i feel that the books would be too childish for me now.

The Harry Potter books are a bit kiddish but that’s largely motivated by Harry being a young character. They tend to mature as you read through them and a good trait of kiddish books is they’re easily digestible. If you want to try something similar feeling to Harry Potter but new to you check out The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan - it’s the first Percy Jackson book. You can read the 5 book series or there’s so many spin offs now you can spend a long time in that universe
