Before suggesting books, here are my likes and dislikes:
Big no-no: Romance, family dramas.
Fiction I enjoy: sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, thriller, detective, spy, political, etc.
Not my taste: Classics (respect to them but they’re not for me).
Books I’ve already read and loved:
The Martian by Andy Weir
Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon series (all 5 books, I liked them books)
Sherlock Holmes (all 4 novels + 56 short stories) and loved it
A Game of Thrones (finished Book 1 in just 5 days, which is super fast for me; currently on Book 2 but taking a break)
I’m especially looking for longer books (500–600+ pages).
Nonfiction interests:
History (especially history of inventions and how small steps shaped the modern world)
Codebreaking/cryptography books (like Enigma in WWII)
I’m open to both fiction and nonfiction suggestions based on the above.
What do you recommend?
