Hello everyone, I hope you are doing fine.
I am posting here hoping to get some ideas of what to read. Let me be more specific:
I don’t read much, perhaps one book per year. That is something I am trying to change.
I remember reading 1984 in the past and finishing it in few hours, it got me hooked. I have Fahrenheit 451 also in my list.
During this summer, I have read a couple of books about geopolitics (around 300 pages), because it is a topic that interests me. But many times I read late at night, and the content takes some effort to actually follow and understand.
So, my intention is to find something lighter in complexity, more fantastic. Perhaps war novel. I am also interested in chess, programming, nature, photography or history.
Any suggestion is welcome, thanks for your time!
Thank you so much for such a dedicated answer. I am saving your recommendations. Actually, I had to read some parts of The Iliad during high school, and it’s a reading I remember with joy. I have been thinking of reading the full thing, but I am scared of getting lazy or overwhelmed and spoiling the book. Same thing happens with Don Quixote. That’s why I am trying to build a habit with small steps.
What I don’t like of what I have read, is probably the complexity of the texts. Possibly more academic than narrative. My fault for the poor choices. I didn’t feel engaged and that made me think that I don’t like reading, but I wasn’t convinced so I asked AI for easy books about geopolitics. And, although they are not the lightest reading, I enjoyed. So here I go again, trying to get myself into the loop of reading.
