I'm starting to read after a very long time - it has been decades, since I've "read" anything properly. Can I get a good recommendation?
Do you have any idea what you might be interested in? Genres, topics, non-fiction/fiction, etc.
I'm open to any format, but I would prefer something that has a lot of volume, and is in the sci-fi category. I'm also okay with non-book readings, like research papers, as long as they're easy to follow.
You might want to try The Expanse series of books. They're very straight forward but still are engaging with interesting ideas and they've certainly got volume. The language is simple, in a practical and modern kind of way, without feeling dumbed down. It doesn't use any of the structures that can make a book challenging to follow.
I second The Expanse series as the other poster said, I started reading with these books when I had time to read during travel. I love the story and characters and the bookies have a really nice cadence to them with regular chapters breaking up the story, helping you feel the progress.
Another series I recommend is the Silo trilogy, Wool, Shift, & Dust. They've also just started a TV series on the first book
What do you think of the Dune series? Is that easy to read? On second thought I am a little curious about technotheism or dark-absurdism in general. I've enjoyed reading Samurai 8 and Ai-Ren, which are both Japanese manga, and I wanted something that has the vibe of Asura's Wrath or Deus Ex Machina.
Highly recommend a long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers. Sci-fi book, lovely atmosphere, very cosy. Highly recommend the whole series.
The bobiverse ones are light fun. Read through them in one go. Very entertaining.
