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
The King in Yellow is great. Doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
Absolutely, I wish his suspense catalogue was bigger! It’s been neat to see his ideas getting worked in to modern fiction like True Detective. There’s also a handful of TTRPG games that are using the mythos of Carcosa and the king in yellow as the premise for pre-written adventure scenarios.
