I have a long drive coming up and I wanted to listen to some books that have a really good story. Some of the recent books I’ve listened to from internet lists are packed with metaphorical significance and and don’t really have all that much story. That kind of book is pretty boring for me and when I am half focused on driving it’s easy for me to lose focus. A perfect book for what I’m talking about would be Holes by Louis Sachar. It’s got a great story and has some adult themes but it’s easy to follow along while also focusing on driving. Most importantly, it’s entertaining so it makes the drive really enjoyable. I’m not necessarily looking for a kids or YA book but something that has a story that actually moves and the characters accomplish something. I tagged sci fi/fantasy but I’m open to pretty much any genre with a good story. I also love a good mystery.
