I’m just kind of in a rut. Haven’t gotten excited about reading in a bit.

I have always loved dystopian novels and also historical fiction.

Some favorite authors have been Suzanne Collins, Neil Gaiman, Ken Follett …

I’m not locked into those genres, but I’m just looking for anything intriguing that my spark my reading again.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

If you want dystopian, try Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun series. These books blew me away with how different from the genre they are, great books.

Good luck!
