Interested if folks have any recommendations. I’m coming off of the Terror (will finish tomorrow I think) and absolutely loved it. One of those books that you can’t put down and it makes you deprioritize other things haha. My favorite fiction/narrative non-fiction books I’ve read are:
First Fifteen Lives of Harry August
The Terror
Doomsday Book (Connie Willis)
11/22/63
Project Hail Mary
North Woods
The Lost Explorer (by Conrad Anker)
Mawson’s Will
Into Thin Air
Civilizations
Dr Strange and Mr Norrell
Those first four are probably my favorites ever (not incorporating HP into this). I really love survival / polar expedition stuff (clearly) and things to do with time travel or alternate history, especially where the book really ‘majors’ on history (as opposed to obsessing about the sci fi elements).
Open to any recommendations you have based on that or any of the ones on the list. Thanks!
