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
For something with a strong story, an equally strong protagonist, and is oddly cathartic
If you enjoy fantasy and dystopian then you may like some magical realism and surrealism. I recommend any fantasy novel by Haruki Murakami. After reading a few of his novels he has become my current favorite author.
