I DONT want any self-help books or books on spirituality and nonsense. I have had enough with other peoples shallow explanations of what I’m going through and perceiving.
I used to be a book worm. Then I had kids. Now they’re older and I have time to read again.
But I’m also currently going through an existential crisis. Been ongoing for a while now.
I usually enjoy fantasy. I know I don’t want to read any non -fiction bc sorry life already sucks and I’m looking for an escape to pass the time.
None of the usual archetypes appeal to me anymore. Like I’ve started 10 books in the last few months and just couldn’t stick with them after the second or third chapter.
I was recommended “the name of the wind” series (I think it’s called) but before i dive in I just wanted more suggestions.
My favorite series was the Pellinor series by Alison Croggon.
Was never able to get into heavy writing styles like that of Tolkien but Jane Eyre is probably my favorite novel. Can’t bring myself to reread it either.
Suggestions?

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde – it’s an alternate timeline/magical realism spin on Jane Eyre.
