What's a book you read recently and can recommend?
@OkieSpaceQueen I'm back home and ready to recommend some books which may help you branch out from nonfiction. Narrative nonfiction might appeal to you:
anything by Erik Larson, but particularly DEAD WAKE
A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, Sonia Purnell
THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS, (or CASTE, both are equally great) Isabel Wilkerson
THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS, Rebecca Skloot
Fiction I have had good luck introducing to people who usually read nonfiction:
THE TREES, Percival Everett (funny and well-written)
THE OVERSTORY, Richard Powers (incredibly popular)
HAMNET, Maggie O'Farrell (yeah they made a movie, but the book is amazing)
THE ROSE CODE, Kate Quinn
THE NATURE OF FRAGILE THINGS, Susan Meissner
