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
  • hallwaymaster

    For something with a strong story, an equally strong protagonist, and is oddly cathartic

    • The Memoirs of Stockholm Sven by Nathaniel Ian Miller

    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.

    • Kafka on the Shore (not his most surreal but is a great intro into his style and worldbuilding)
    • The Wind Up Bird Chronicles
    • Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
