Hii, I am trying to get into reading books but don't know what to read. I like programming, tech, DIY stuff and science and would love to read about it.

Which book should I read that is not overwhelming for a begginer like me?

Not that I'm aware, but there's almost certainly an audiobook.

Not to shill and Im not even sure they're on Android but SpeechCentral is excellent for turning any epub/pdf into audiobooks with highlighting to read along if you like both visual and aural delivery of content.
