    Hello!!

    I've very recently started to read (more exactly listen to people reading) again after finishing my degree at uni and I'm looking for historical or semi-historical books, I'm currently munching through a list of classics and have particularly enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird and No Country For Old Men; not so taken by Frankenstein (too gory and horror-like for my tastes) and Jane Austen (liking the humour and style but the plot isn't working on me, I don't care much for romance and the regency era as a whole). Next on my list is Tale of Two Cities as well as Oliver Twist and I'm thinking about giving the Sherlock Holmes collection on Audible a try ! … And I think I just gave a whole lot too much info

    Anyway! I'm interested in stuff relating the late industrial revolution onward and couldn't care less for renaissance eras and before, and I'm particularly curious about the great depression and the prohibition period in the US, tho the gilded age is something I am quite curious about.
    However I'm not looking for history textbooks here but fiction anchored in their authors contemporary worlds!

    To sum it up, I'm curious about (semi)-realistic fiction from the 1850s until the early 2000s (please no 9/11 books!) with a particular emphasis to the late XIV/early XX ce they, exemples of stories I enjoyed are To Kill a Mockingbird or No Country for Old Men and disliked romances centered stories !
    Slice of life sections (not necessarily the whole book but at least some) are appreciated!

    With love,
    Nate <3

    Edit: Bonus point if it's an audio book that can be found somewhere else than on audible! (No Libby tho, I'm not from a country offering that service!)
