Getting back into reading as an adult!

I got a library card and a used kindle. I want to be the reader I used to be.

Books I’ve enjoyed a lot in the past include:

Echo

Touching Spirit Bear

Where the Red Fern Grows (UGH THIS BOOK!)

Time Cat

Old Yeller

Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

The Little Prince

Black Beauty

My Side of the Mountain

Arabian Nights

Life of Pi

Heart (Edmondo de Amicis)

The Outsiders

The Jungle Books

Animal Farm

Of Mice and Men

Don’t remember the title, it was about a family impacted by the Dust Bowl

The Things They Carried

Things I like: survival, travel, wildlife, adventure, folklore, agricultural, historic realism, gritty detail, does not necessarily have to be a rural setting!

Not keen on: sci fi, fantasy, supernatural. I nearly offed myself trying to read LoTR. Interestingly enough I liked Harry Potter a lot, but not for the fantasy or magical aspects.

At the moment I’m considering Grapes of Wrath, Call of the Wild, Death on the Nile, Little House on the Prairie, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and Bambi. I checked out The Jungle (U Sinclair) from the library and began reading it yesterday. As someone involved in the livestock industry it seemed super interesting, so maybe any similarly intense political fiction/societal commentary? Memoirs and the like are good too.

Hope this is plenty to work with. Thanks!!
