This may sound dumb, but I’ve never read for this man. I’ve always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I’ve read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while. Thanks in advance

    I’d start with a smaller one. His writing is very steady and consistent. Sometimes there are weird sexual undertones (weird in a bad way).

    I’d recommend Terry Pratchett Discworld. I can’t get into King but Pratchett is good for my English soul.

      I like Pratchett’s world building but I hate the naming of things. I lose track of the who and where because my brain refuses the associations.
