Reading on Shabbat?

Is it permissible to read a book on Shabbat? Like, a physical, old-fashioned style, hardback book? I’ve recently ordered some books that trace the lineage of Jews that escaped the Middle East, and am curious to know if I would be allowed to continue reading them throughout Shabbat.

I attend a Sephardic shul, if it matters, and it is a Modern Orthodox synagogue. Thanks in advance for any insight or feedback!
