18, never really read books for fun. Where should I even start?

Other

Im 18 nd i honestly have never been into reading books, the only books ive ever read are my school textbooks and now my mbbs books

the weird thing is i can spend hours reading Instagram comment sections or reddit threads nd long stories people post online nd random discussions
so i dont think i hate reading itself maybe i just havent found the right kind of book

nd most importantly the problem is i have absolutely no idea what genre id enjoy like ive never tried fantasy mystery romance sci-fi classics thrillers..... literally nothing 😭

Soooo...

  • What book got you into reading?
  • If u were introducing books to someone like me what would u recommend?
  • Should I start with short book or fast paced ones or something else?
  • Any advice for someone whos basically starting from zero??
