I was a huge anime fan back when i was younger, around 2017ish i switched to reading a lot of light novels instead. So hundreds of books later im having more issues finding anything to read. But i also have a lack of interest for non anime books and its rather annoying. I read through a song of ice and fire a while ago and loved it. I planned to delve into more american literature at the time, yet i went straight back to the same old stuff, light novels.
Im hoping i can get recommendations and let peer pressure kick in to give some books a shot! So if anyone could point me in any direction to go id appreciate it.
So these are a bit old - like the 60s - so there are a few bits that feel a bit wrong in 2024. But not many, and they’re otherwise great. You mentioned anime, these books are from one of those comic strips you used to get in the back pages of newspapers. Comic guy wrote the books, they’re very easy to read, the characters are vivid, lots of fun. Just cos stuff is old doesn’t mean it’s shit, give em a try.
