    Currently I’m re-reading entertaining trash.

    • Dan Brown - Angels and demons. Basically indiana jones / national treasure on steroids. Very entertaining and good storytelling.
    • Agatha Christie - And then there were none. An extremely entertaining who-dunnit in a mansion, with lots of twists. Not too long, and keeps you on your toes the whole time.

    Because I’m often on the train, it’s easier for me to take an e-book reader, than anytime carrying a book with me.

    News articles from various sources, academic papers for university classes, discission threads on Lemmy and Reddit, various short form fiction.

    Leasure reading has fallen by the wayside. It’s a pity but I like a particular type of book that is rarely fulfilled. I mostly just read my subscribed RSS feeds

    If anyone has recommendations, I like surreal nonfiction and fiction (not too fantasy, think “his dark materials”), with an emphasis on storytelling and character development. I enjoy most densities, I occasionally dare read academia.

    I like reading Light Novels/Web Novels. Usually Fantasy & Sci-Fi topics. But, since my eyes gets tired very easily reading I use often the Text-to-Speech function. Sometimes up to 90% of the time. I’ll be honest, many are not that good quality but they entertain me and are in good format compatible with the Text-to-Speech function.

    I also read with less frequency Fantasy & Sci-Fi books like Red Rising, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Green Hank, Enders Game, etc.

    I regularly go to the library to expose myself to reading & discovering new books without distractions

      I also frequent my local library! Great place to discover books. (To answer the original question: I read poetry, classics, comics, fantasy, sci-fi, history, and some specialist literature)

    I try to aim for reading around 30 books per year. I tend to pick one fiction and non fiction to read concurrently. I tend to enjoy hard sci-fi the most for fiction, and politics/economics for nonfiction.
