So what books would you recommend? Since we've covered the ones that suck, how about the ones that rock?
I actually prefer non-fiction now, to fiction. I go through phases too, both with fiction and non-fiction and will read only certain genres, authors, themes, etc.
my main issue is, i have so little TIME to read.
But here goes.
One of my all time favorites: One Hundred Years of Solitude. I had to read it in school and in Spanish too, either HS or college, i can't recall which. I love it.
The Emperor of All Maladies: A History of Cancer. NOT light reading and I've read it twice, and still didn't get it all, but it really is fascinating. The author also wrote another
on Genes, which I started but haven't yet finished.
I love mysteries, and when I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I got into Scandinavian crime etc. I have tons! Cant think of any off the top of my head though.
I also loved a series about an Indian detective: Vish Puri by Tarquin Hall. And Donna Leone’s books about Commissaro Guido Brunetti
I must have several hundred books ON my Kindle and no time to get to them!
