This year I’ve read exclusively sci fi: Crichton, Stephenson, Tchaikovsky, and I’m on the final book in *The Expanse*. I will probably finish that this week.
I’m looking to pivot out of the sci fi genre. I don’t want to get tired of it. But I’m worried about falling into a rut after I finish this long (to me) series.
What I’m looking for:
– fiction
– firmly set in our world
– preferably set within the last 30-40 years (80s-present)
– preferably written in the last 15 years
– less than 400 pages
Possible genres and topics: mystery, coming of age, tech industry, college campus settings (pref from a professor’s POV), LGBTQ, slice of life, but I’m open to anything.
Really, I’d love to hear everyone’s recs for short-ish (250-400 pages) fiction set in the recent past or present. Anything will do, I’ll check out all of them! I just need a list to consult when I finish this book. Thanks in advance!
