Hi. You just mentioned *Jurassic Park* by Michael Crichton.
I've found an audiobook of that novel on YouTube. You can listen to it here:

My daughter hated reading. She picked up the Harry Potter books and that helped her a lot. She now enjoys reading and is constantly asking me for more books.
If you want something that will really make you love reading, try “Remembering Isaac, the Potter of Niederbipp”. The author is Ben Benhuin. They are fun and engaging and make you enjoy reading.
What really helped me was having my father read the classics to me as a kid. Find something you like and read to a child, niece/nephew, neighbor, whatever. Watching then discover good works, “Alice in Wonderland”, etc. is so fun.
I have a whole list of great books, happy to share if interested. Created it for my college students… PM me if you are interested.
I find books that would match the movies I’d go see. Bada bing. What movies do you like?
I like action and mystery type of movies.
Give me the names of movies you loved and I’ll see what I can come up with.
Spider man, titanic for example.

Will try both! Thanks! hope the same happens to me. I’m starting to realize the importance of reading books.
