I've finally fallen in love with reading again over the last year. Problem is I've only been reading non-fiction. it makes my brain hurt. I'd like to have some stuff I can turn to when attempting to read gender trouble gives me another headache. I don't have any particular preference for genre. I used to read fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian stuff but I'm more than happy to explore other genres as well!

A short list of things I've read for reference:

The saxon stories, Bernard Cornwell
LOTR, the hobbit
1984
The road, Cormac McCarthy
The plague dogs, Richard Adams

I just finished Roadside Picnic. I think that would fit your list pretty well. It's also a quick, short read so could be a good place to start.

This has been on my radar for years. Thanks for reminding me!
