Going through this one:

What sort of things are you interesting in? I do the Audiobook thing and got into a medical history phase. There have been a couple novels thrown in and now am listening to The Hobbit.
My taste in books is all over the place like my taste in music. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius  (August 14, 2023 at 10:44 am)arewethereyet Wrote: What sort of things are you interesting in?

The more varied the recommends the better - fiction, non-fiction, all genres etc etc
I listen to a lot of memoirs/biographies. Not those of rich famous people but people who had crappy backgrounds and made it through.
Pat Conroy is an author I have liked but hadn't read in years so I am revisiting his work. I enjoy Augusten Burroughs, Dave Sedaris, Jeannette Walls, and Gillian Flynn. Now that I look through my Audible list, I really, really went on a medical history binge, LOL. “If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.” — Confucius 
Two novels by Adrian McKinty: The Chain (2019) & The Island (2022).
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Stranger In A Strange Land - Robert Heinlein
SPQR - Mary Beard Practical Blacksmithing - Various authors A Short History Of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson Everything Mark Twain ever wrote Boru
‘But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no gods. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.’ - Thomas Jefferson
I read a lot of self-help books, but that's not the thing most people want recommendations on. Beyond that I read mostly no-brainers like Steinbeck, Tolkien, Gibbons, Durant, and so on.

I prefer non-fiction, mainly history and science. If I read fiction, it's usually classics, or occasionally Stephen King.
I haven't read anything in a long while, but my favorite authors are Dean Koontz and Anne Rice.
Also, you can read my novels, which contain gay characters and social issues. Sapience: https://www.wattpad.com/story/337592687?...X57q%2FBQ0 Alternative Alpha: https://www.wattpad.com/story/341027129?...F8BTYmgV9u Their Nature: https://www.wattpad.com/story/344560774?...xJbHJiaS1S
