Like The Graveyard Book, which is just fantastic. If people only read non-fiction and you want a easy gateway drug, try that out. The audiobook by Neil Gaiman is fantastic.

And then the graveyard book which I believe is on the New York Times best seller list for more than a year.
I wrote the graveyard book and I'm writing the current novel in these beautiful books that I bought in a stationary shop in Venice built into a bridge somewhere in Venice.
Neil Gaiman The Tim Ferriss Show · Jun 2024 Why people recommend it
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman is an imaginative fantasy novel that follows a human boy raised by ghosts in a graveyard after his family is murdered. Tim Ferriss recommended the book multiple times on The Tim Ferriss Show, frequently praising it as an ideal gateway drug or training tool to introduce non-fiction purists to the pleasures of reading fiction, while also highlighting the quality of the author's own audiobook narration. Jude Beersdorfer brought up the novel on The Book Review while discussing Gaiman's extensive bibliography and its impressive longevity on the bestseller lists. In a separate episode, Neil Gaiman himself appeared on The Tim Ferriss Show and described the physical writing process of crafting the novel inside special leatherbound notebooks purchased at a bridge-side stationery shop in Venice. Through these conversations, the book is celebrated both as a masterclass in modern fantasy storytelling for younger readers and adults alike, and as a beloved milestone in Gaiman's acclaimed literary career. The podcasters emphasize its accessibility, charm, and enduring ability to win over skeptical readers who typically avoid fictional narratives altogether.
