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
Robert Evans’ (from the Behind the Bastards/It Could Happen Here podcasts) book After the Revolution is a great future sci fi read.
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler is a tough but good read, if The Road didn’t get to you too much, you’ll probably enjoy this too.
A Canticle for Lebowitz is another dystopian sci fi future novel I’d recommend if you aren’t put off by older writing styles (1950’s).
