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

    The Dresden Files are good and captivating and easy to read. I just read 12 of them in a row. It takes some time but the story really hits a stride in book 5ish, though they’re short and finish quickly. The magic becomes interesting, the world feels real and the monsters dangerous but familiar, there’s some faith and family aspects that are quaint and Harry is a character who is fun to ride along with and watch do his thing, recommended but I can understand that it might not be everyone’s cup of tea also.
