Hi all,
I loved reading non-fiction and too much reading led to my imagination going down the drain and my brain thinking about thousand things at the same time. So, I decided to give it a break and thought of fiction. A friend suggested me Harry Potter series. I was mind blown by it and thought that I shall read only fiction for sometime as it gave me some new imagination, some peace and got my interest back into reading. I have finished all of them now. After that I tried a few more fictional books, mostly classics but found them boring.
So my lovely redditors, please suggest me some books that I can read which are interesting to read. I have been told that beating Harry Potter is not possible but if there is anything else that I can read which is interesting and easy to read please suggest.
Thanks in advance 😃

Hunger Games series
Red Rising series
You might try The Hunger Games and it’s sequels. Dystopian young adult fiction, some similarities to Books 5-7 of Harry Potter
The Scholomance Trilogy
The Aubrey/Maturin Series
The Broken Earth Trilogy
The Old Man’s War Series (pretty much anything Scalzi)
Aw man the reading hangover after Harry Potter is still relevant for me even after reading the series multiple times.
Jumping from fantasy to classics would be boring but if you like the classic feel, Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit might be a good transition while staying in fantasy.
Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N Holmberg is an easy and cozy read. I’ve enjoyed the whole series thus far.
Maybe try Eliezer Yudkowsky’s *Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality* (https://hpmor.com) for an alternative take in which Harry’s aunt marries a physics professor instead of Mr. Dursley. I really liked the original series, and I liked this at least as much.
The Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
The Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling’s pseudonym)
Down the road, If you ever felt like revisiting the world of Harry Potter, I’d recommend hearing the audiobooks (by Jim Dale). It’s like a new experience.
