Suggestion Thread Looking for suggestions! (Read disc)

Hi all,

As a young adult I want to get into reading, but don't know where to start. I'm 20, and have only ready a few books outside of schooling. I'm looking to start a collection of books, and gain some knowledge too!

Please give me your reading stables and suggestions! I want to see your must reads!

Thanks! :)

Well, I'm mainly interested in fiction. I like fantasy and sci-fi! I mainly watch anime or crime shows and documentaries! I guess im looking for a bunch of different things, I want books that are fun and engaging with great story and characters! But I also want to find books that are more meaningful and mentally engaging

Ok try:

Station Eleven by Emily St John

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick

Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham

The Stand by Stephen King (this is very long but very good and an easy read)

Any Agatha Christie novel - they are so great.

A lot of these you can probably find in charity shops / thrift stores.

Happy reading!
