Hey, a beginner on this side.
I have barely read a couple of books here and there, and since it has been long since I picked anything up, I want to start again. And maybe I am being weirdly specific here, but I honestly don’t know how or where to look for books like this.
The thing is, I am a non-native English reader or speaker, whatever you call it. You can fairly say English is my third language. And I feel classics are hard for me. The grammar and writing style are overwhelming.
So I am looking for something contemporary. A peaceful read that feels like a warm hug. Something beautifully written, the kind where you feel like highlighting every line. But with the simplest grammar and vocabulary.
I am not looking for non-fiction. I am also not looking for a book that is fully based on philosophy or introspection. I mean the writing style, where a completely normal scene is going on and suddenly there’s one line that hits hard. I honestly have no idea how to explain this.
Genre could be anything. Romance, fantasy, mystery, YA, NA, or whatever. But please don’t suggest something depressing or sad.
Help me, please. I am clueless.
