Inspired by a recent post (a fairly common topic that pops up every now and then) about popular books people disliked, this gave me an idea.
Reading is very subjective and personal, but by finding someone with similar dislikes, it could be that this person may have similar reading taste as yourself, and you may just find someone who has recommendations you would enjoy as well.
List popular reads you disliked and whoever disliked the same will respond with reads they’ve enjoyed.
My dislikes:
A Gentleman in Moscow (I wouldn’t call this a bad book, but it wasn’t for me. Didn’t hate it but I didn’t find the book or the Count charming, which I think was the point)
Remarkably Bright Creatures
The Martian
(If anyone has the same dislikes as me, I will respond to their post with a recommendation also)

I dearly love every Neil Gaiman book except ‘Good Omens’ with Terry Pratchett and subsequently did not like the one Terry Pratchett book I read as much as I wanted to! I feel like I may be the only one…so any other Fantasy lovers who felt the same and have a suggestion?
Great post idea!
Piranesi, was recommended to me many times. DNFd it. Just couldn’t do it.
