I'm in need of a good book to get lost in, but I've struggled with reading fiction lately and I don't know what!
I'm not sure what type of book I like any more! Something interesting & "intelligent", but not too worthy. I know what I don't like - nothing historical, crime based or chick lit type, but I'm not really sure what I do like.
The last fiction book I read and loved was Station Eleven. Another recent book (for me!) that I really enjoyed was The Tiger's Wife, so something of that ilk?
Nothing too sad as my dad died recently, but also nothing too jolly either. Maybe something "life affirming", although Life of Pi was sold to me on that basis, but I found it horrifying and disturbing, rather than life affirming (so not sure what that says about me! )
So, I know that's not much to go on, but could you all offer me some suggestions please. I used to love getting lost in a good book, and I desperately need to get lost in one right now. Thanks!
