I have been wanting to get back into reading for a long time. In middle school I loved the harry potter books, hunger games, and other similar ish books that I have since forgot. It had probably been 7 years since I finished a book I started for pure enjoyment. In that time I read 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird, and In Cold Blood for different classed and really enjoyed all three for different reasons.
Movies I love: Pretty much everything from wong kar wai, blade runner 2049, paris texas, no country for old men, nosferatu, lord of the rings trilogy, sinners, y tu mama tambien
Video games: Last of Us, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII remake/rebirth, Death Stranding, Fallout, Elder scrolls
I know a lot of the movies are based off or connected to books, but I would like to avoid reading those to start.
I want to start with something on the shorter side as a way to get my foot in the door, before going off into something longer. Something sci fi, and/or some thriller, and/or fantasy.
