Ok I have a weird book conundrum. I hate reading fluff but I also hate reading books that are too challenging for me. I want something that feels literary, poignant, and like a work of art while still feeling digestible after a long day. So many of the easy reads have poorly written characters and predictable plots (think Colleen Hoover). Many classics are beautifully written, but are so complex or require so much historical context that it’s not relaxing for me. I want something that’s timeless with a deeper meaning about society/culture, but is still an easy read. Some of my favorites have been The Handmaid’s Tale, I Who Have Never Known Men, 1984, To Kill a Mockingbird, Parable of the Sower, The Glass Castle, Station Eleven, or anything by Kazuo Ishiguro.
