I have a long standing habit of re-reading my library and fall back into familiar old books for comfort.
I got bored recently and picked up some new titles and was even more bored reading them that I've given them to a charity shop.
I need help finding my love for reading again please, so I'm looking for suggestions to rekindle that fire!
Old familiars include authors like John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, James Patterson. I like a series of books where possible and have appreciated young adult things like the Hunger Games or Divergent. And Twilight is a guilty pleasure.
I also adore historical naval fiction like Hornblower or the Patrick O'Brien series of Aubrey and Maturin.
Hate romcom, hate romance novels, hate chick lit, not interested in comedy. And absolutely no "A Child Called It" types.
Like a good autobiography (rather than a biography) of an interesting person - have a range from Billy Connolly to Marilyn Manson to Rory Stewart (but not Nicola Sturgeon).
Like a strong military theme or political thriller perhaps. Absolutely no horror, I'm a wimp. Am not looking to hit up the classics at the moment, I did that a few years ago and I need something else at the moment.
Any suggestions gratefully received! I have a £90 book token burning a hole in my pocket.
