Any fiction suggestions for a somewhat picky reader? The Expanse lasted me a long while but I’m finishing up the novellas now and need to start looking for something new. Not necessarily in the same genre.
I don’t have a lot of books under my belt as an adult, but some of my favorites have been Stoner by John Williams, Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, East of Eden, Catch 22, Flowers for Algernon, and Harry Potter. Kind of all over the place I guess. 😅
I’ve also enjoyed John Williams’ other novels, Piranesi, The Things They Carried, House of Leaves, and Ender’s Game and the sequel.
Some books I didn’t really care for include Hitchhiker’s Guide (although I loved the first half), Lolita, Sharp Objects, Turtles All the Way Down, The Stand, The Road, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451.
I’m always overwhelmed trying to find something new, so thanks for any suggestions!
EDIT: Thank you all! It’ll be a bit daunting exploring all these new books but not nearly as daunting as if I had no guidance, so I really appreciate it!
Glad you did! If you aren’t enjoying yourself when reading a book then it’s fine to put it down.
Is that Children of Memory? I love that series and enjoyed every book. I was a bit confused about what was going on with CoM for about the first half of the book, but then it all started clicking and was great fun. The new species was brilliant as well.
It is indeed Children of Memory. Loving it so far. The incoorpration of the nod creature(s?/entity?) is awesome. Can’t wait to learn more about the corvids.
