I’ve read some good books lately, but they all have been real downers. Old people, ill and alone, struggling with modern life; the last years of Romanov dynasty and its brutal end; life and death (a lot of death!) and other weirdness in ancient Eqypt. I’m ready to throw myself off a bridge at the dismalness of it all!
So, suggest to me some books that well-written and engaging but aren’t too dark or romantically sappy or juvenile. I love Terry Prachett, but have read everything of his except the most recent, which hasn’t gotten the greatest reviews here. I’ve read Khadaji"s What’cha Reading thread (have it bookmarked!) and have noted a couple of good titles, which I now have on hold at the library, so it will be awhile before I can read those.
I’ve read and enjoyed Rothfuss, Harkness, Prachett, McCall Smith, Owen Perry and their ilk. I love historical fiction but I’m sick of war and pestilence.
Ready, set, go!
