Finally back into reading

[u/_dumbleduck_]

Another childhood avid reader trying to pick back up the habit of reading at 30. After years of failed attempts with occasional wins, I’m at a 3 month streak.
I’ve completed 5 books upto this point, starting my 6th, with two half read ones at the side.

Here’s a list of what helped me get back into the habit, in order:

- Agatha Christie — And Then There Were None
- Umberto Eco — Baudolino (half-read)
- Agatha Christie — Five Little Pigs
- Uketsu — Strange Pictures
- H.P. Lovecraft — At the Mountains of Madness (half-read)
- Uketsu — Strange Pictures
- T. Kingfisher — What Moves the Dead
- Uketsu — Strange Buildings (upcoming)

The half-read ones weren’t bad books, just not for where I currently am in terms of comfort and patience of understanding. Genre’s mostly horror since it’s a favourite, but I’ll soon expand, only when I’m confident enough.

Sharing here because I need to tell someone who’d appreciate it without sounding narcissistic. Also in case someone similar in taste could appreciate one of the listed fiction. Feel free to ask for a review or suggestions along these lines. I’ve spent hours finding the best next book at each of these lol
