I've read novels in the past but in the past 5 years I've read nonfiction exclusively. I love history, survival, and adventure stories, mostly of mountaineering and polar exploration. I want to read a few novels to mix things up/get unique brain benefits from reading fiction. I have currently in my possession "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, a survival story, and "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, which I somehow managed to miss despite being a public school student in the United States. Or start somewhere else entirely? What are your thoughts?

I’d recommend Starlight by ML Briggs. It’s a sci-fi/dystopian novel about a young man who survives and tries to escape the dictatorship
Beyond sleep, by Willem Frederik Hermans. About a geologist on an expedition to Finnmark, northern Norway.
Neal Stephenson’s Quicksilver
*My Side of the Mountain* by Jean Craighead George
*The Cay* by Theodore Taylor
*The Pearl* by John Steinbeck
Sounds like you would enjoy The Call of the Wild, by Jack London. It’s a classic. But why not read the two you already have? Those books are 🤌
I’m in a similar situation as you and I just started reading The Three Musketeers -Alexandre Dumas. Really enjoying it so far.
I just started Project Hail Mary and I think you might love it. I know many people suggest it all the time.
