I used to read a lot when I was young. Then, I stopped… For a long time.
Recently, I remembered I used to get sleepy when I read. So, I decided to start reading before bed to help me go to sleep. That plan kind of backfired completed, but it made me realize I actually really like reading.
I’m going on a three-week trip, so picked up a Kindle to bring with me and now I need to load it up.
I haven’t really read anything made recently. I picked up a bunch of classics from B&N that I’ve been reading before bed (lately Sherlock Holmes and Classic Ghost Stories).
I like mostly fiction. I like a pretty wide range of genres, including fantasy, horror, sci-fi, etc. I like action, suspense or comedy stuff. Not big on romance or drama (especially drama caused by misunderstandings that could be cleared up by a simple adult conversation). I’m lukewarm on historical and “slice of life”.
I don’t mind long series, but I prefer COMPLETE long series. I’m an impatient “binge it all at once” type person. :p One-offs are also great.
Any ideas? I’ve literally not read anything more modern than the Harry Potter books, so feel free to recommend somewhat older series, or even other series from around that time frame.
Thanks.
