I’ve finally fallen in love with reading again over the last year. Problem is I’ve only been reading non-fiction. it makes my brain hurt. I’d like to have some stuff I can turn to when attempting to read gender trouble gives me another headache. I don’t have any particular preference for genre. I used to read fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian stuff but I’m more than happy to explore other genres as well!
A short list of things I’ve read for reference:
- The saxon stories, Bernard Cornwell
- LOTR, the hobbit
- 1984
- The road, Cormac McCarthy
- The plague dogs, Richard Adams
My goto brain vent book series are the Alex Verus books by Benedict Jacka. It’s y/a urban fantasy in London without being too childish or over sexualised. The ~400 pages each book are easy to read.
On the other hand I currently read “Slow Horses”, the book series the AppleTV show is based on. These are stories focused on the worst of MI5 and how they stumble across and solve a case, or prevent something.
