Reading won't get you far, but observation can. Even just being in the same room with others who are having a conversation is a good way too improve by watching and learning from how they behave. Think of it like studying any academic subject, though through direct observation.
Admittedly though, one can't learn to swim without getting in the water. If you want to improve, at some point you'll have to expose yourself to socialization and build up a tolerance for it. I recommend either using a formal excuse to contact people like school or work, or getting in touch with a local group that shares one of your interests. If the latter, make sure it's a mainstream interest; much as I love playing games, my local Smash Bros. tourney group isn't exactly full of paragon socialites.
