I’m somewhat new to the world of reading for fun and I’m looking to expand my book options. While my taste has been limited by the fact the I’m attracted to non-fiction books, I have recently enjoyed some books of other genres such as 1984, The Alchemist, Old Man and the Sea, Bull Mountain, and The Martian (pretty basic I know). My girlfriend is pushing me to read things outside my comfort zone and to explore more. I’m trying to lean into that. I’m looking for a fiction book that paints vivid pictures for the reader while also telling a meaningful, interesting story. I’m a fiend for conflict and stories that keep you on the edge of your seat. Any suggestions?

I’m a big non fiction fan but I’m also going into fiction. If you want start small and have the non fiction feel The War That Saved my life if great. It is a YA book so the language is not as complex as the average non fiction book. Since you liked 1984 if you want the same kind of high stakes feeling The President is Missing by James Patterson and Bill Clinton is an amazing read. I’ve recommended this to a lot of people tonight but Girl in pieces is a fantastic book. The topic are very heavy but it’s super detailed and you feel like your watching it irl. It does have a bit of romance and sexual tension but it’s very subtle.
