I did not read my entire young adult life. And then I was in a goodwill when I was 30 and found two 'Norton Anthology of Literature' books. Kept buying more until I had a dozen of them and I'm fascinated by them. For the last couple years I have read through John Milton, William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Herman Melville, HP Lovecraft, etc. I tried Brandon Sanderson but 300 pages in it started to feel slow and drawn out. I tried GRR Martin but i grabbed Fire and Blood, which I think is much more journalistic than is other novels? Or is it?
Basically i want an epic, but modern, page turner that I can read where it doesn't feel like I'm using brain power. I have only read a few modern books but the few I tried didn't really grab ahold of me as I would like.
