I have taken almost a year long break from reading fiction to focus on non-fiction. I am ready to start reading fiction again, but after such a long break I have no idea where to start.

Here are some books I have enjoyed in the past:

  • Dragon’s Egg (Robert L. Forward)
  • The Damned Trilogy (Alan Dean Foster)
  • Mage Errant series (John Bierce)
  • Cradle series (Will Wight)
  • Gods of Blood and Powder (Brian Mckellan)
  • The Spiral Wars (Joel Shepard)
  • Basically everything Brandon Sanderson has written

    I recognize this is an older thread, however, I want to ask – what are some of those nonfiction books read that you’d recommend?

      In my post or the recommendedations from the post? Because all of the books I posted are really good, but for very different reasons. I have a bit of an eclectic taste.

      What do you like? The books I listed range from hard sci-fi to really easy progression fantasy.

        Oh pardon me. In your post, you mentioned a period of reading nonfiction only, wondering what you’d recommend from that time? Lmk if this makes more sense!

          Ah I understand, nothing I that really stands out. I was mostly catching up on things that should have been assigned to me in school or that I neglected to pick up in college. A lot of dry history and whatnot. Any topic that interests you?

            Ah gotcha, that’s valid. Honestly, I was curious on the off chance that some of those topics covered were about science (space, nature), history, and/or any insightful self-help reads. Thanks!
