Hello, I am 24m and I haven’t read a solid book In a while. I am going on a camping / road trip in May and don’t want to be on social media during my downtime. What are some books that would be good to read?
The biographies and the Library are pretty light and fun. But not too bold is light, sweet and short. Garden of the moon is the most solid and is the start of the series.

If you like sci-fi check out The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. It’s about the adventures of a human envoy named Genly to a gender-bending planet. Le Guin is a great among greats and this book calls to mind all sorts of psychological and cultural questions.

Song of Achilles, seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo, no exit by Taylor Adams, the house in the cerulean sea, lessons in chemistry. All of these were page turners after a long reading slump for me

The 100 year old man who climbed out of a window and disappeared. Funny engaging fiction.

The alchemist. For whom the bell tolls. On the Road. When breath becomes air. All books you can “pause and look outside the window” to

Watership Down. Engrossing. Just sad enough. Just hopeful enough.

Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton. It is narrated by a foul-mouthed, domesticated, crow. When a human apocalypse breaks out he has to figure our what to do. Along for the adventure is a wonderfully stupid dog named Dennis
