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

If you don’t mind a rogue, a rake, a real scoundrel (anti hero even) I’d say the Flashman books.

George Macdonald Frasier’s series of historical fiction.

Flashy is, by his own admission, not a good person, but a fun easy read.
