    Hi,

    I’m looking for a very specific category for books to read. I used to love reading younger but fell off of it after starting higher education and having mandatory readings (not interesting).

    Here’s what I’m looking for and what to know :

    • I have a short attention span, I tend to look first for the cover if it looks interesting …
    • I hate books where the plot is so easily predictable.
    • I also hate ones where the plot takes forever to know, those that always turnaround chapters after chapters.

    My type, I would say based on some series and books :
    -Mr. Robot (haven’t finished it, got boring);
    -Harry Potter;
    -The Mentalist (loved the serie, but I don’t think I can stand really detailed criminal scenes in a book, I’m not into horror or detailed crimes with explicit scenes);
    -Desparate Housewife (loved it);
    -greys anatomy (too long, cannot stand long series where the plot gets boring);
    -Weapons of math destruction (really loved it, but got boring as it always turns around the same subject in different fields);
    -What days owes the night (nice book, I love the author and it’s style, comparable to Albert Camus which I also like);

    Books I hate : the atomic habits, anything about getting richer, mental wellness… I do not trust any of those, personally.
    I liked why we can sleep. I also like deep meaningful books that mentions why we act a certain way based on scientific facts or professional authors.

    You might think what does this person really like if they can’t stand series or movies, well… I appreciate documentaries related to consumerism, philosophy, different countries unknown condition, how the human think or work, I used to love kdrama but got easy to guess the plot and always turn about the same thing (a guy liking a girl and making 100 scenarios to get her), I appreciate Turkish series (a bit more drama than kdrama), etc.

    I know I’m picky, but it’s just really hard to find a book to get back into reading. Everything I see a TikTok recommendation, I read a few pages, than gets boring such as the Housemaid or one called something fire.

    Thank you for any help.
