- throw4847285 3mo agoHow about an Elmore Leonard novel? Very digestible novels from a deceptively skilled craftsman.
- xpct 3mo agoIf you can stomach older English novels: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
- verzali 3mo agoWhat counts as a good book varies from person to person. But take a look at anything by Asimov. I have a collection of his short stories and it is a nice read. Oh, and any short story collection by Chekhov.
- mrweasel 3mo agoHonestly it doesn't matter much, go grab a random book from goodwill. If you do "need" a recommendation, I'd suggest "Roots", I'm reading it now and it's amazingly well written. One suggestion I would make is to read something from before 1980. No real reason why, but books from 1900 - 1980 work better for me personally, not sure why.
