What sort of books are you usually assigned in school? I've looked up the one you mentioned (and without having read it, I might sympathise in a way, if you see the lessons that might be taken from it in a bad way, or whatever) but can you give us anymore examples? Literature isn't everyone's favourite thing in the world by any means, so you can just read what you have to for school, give a few opinions, a few essays, and then walk out into something you want to do.
What might be more beneficial though is, like others have said, get some books on things you really find interesting. Interested in history? There's tons of great books in just about everything in some way. Politics? Practically built on literature at the base. Hell, you might even just find a biography of someone you like, or a book on somewhere you're interested in. I think we've got more than enough material in this house on the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, and those are starters.
The Internet's great, I won't deny that. What you might find though, is that using the computer for a while can have effects on your health, however minor. There's lots of reading online, but I'm comfortable when I'm just sat up in bed reading. It's just that there's no humming of a machine, no tendency to just slip off and do something else, yadda yadda yadda. Convenience doesn't always result in comfort I guess, or something.
And seeing as we're talking about the Bible, my take is that while money might influence some organisations to the point that they are just greedy (in today's society, this is largely because religion translates into "maintaining tradition", which apparently includes keeping the local and national wealth gaps intact, but that's a brief opinion). For personal, independant use? It depends heavily on the sort of person you are, why you are reading the Bible and what you hope to take from it, I think. I'll admit to have read Bible passages time after time. Do I believe in a God? I don't know, I try not to worry myself with it. Eh.
