Need to get back into reading. Usually read horror literature and Russian works. But regardless, tell me your favorites !

    I really loved The Locked Tomb series, it’s brilliantly written and does a good job leaving you as confused as the characters while also being aimed perfectly at my demographic.

    Huge fan of Ursula K. LeGuinn’s The Dispossessed and The Left Hand of Darkness. They’re great sci fi explorations of politics and gender

    My wife and I are both fans of Brandon Sanderson’s work, very good for anyone interested in getting into fantasy (also popular for learning to read books in English).

    When Women Were Dragons is a feminist fantasy novel that made me cry on behalf of the older women in my life and was just a really powerful book

    I have more queer lit I can recommend, but it’s probably not going to be what I’d describe as my favorite.

    For nonfiction The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow is a fascinating book that left me feeling like we are capable of building a better society
