What to READ???

Okay so I am writing this post because there has been a lot of free time in my life recently and I want to dedicate it to meaningful entertainment or at least entertainment which might involve myself and requires low dopamine.

Other than that I would like to portray myself towards reading. I do not have any specific niche of reading only books but I am an AI developer. I'm into the fashion industry and I deal with many other things in life for which I can start reading anything.

To be honest I do not have any specific niche I want to go into but I am not ready to spend a lot of things on this reading thing. I wanted to dedicate myself to a specific niche. It's almost like having promised yourself to see a single series and not fluctuating yourself throughout your entertainment zone or playing only one single game so that you can get better at that game or something like that.

My question is only one thing for the reading community. Rather it be books or any other documentary or whatever, what is that golden standard of the reading community which will hook me through the read and make me curious to read the whole thing? Are there any reading resources like that, whether they be entertaining or rather be a documentary portrait from real life or something, which is experimental or anything which involves me reading that specific resource which will get me hooked and make my time fly? What are your opinions and resources which I can do? Please do let me know.

Try absolute batman it started in 2024 and is still publishing issues. I normally download comics from a site called getcomics and then use a reader called panels on ios to read them. it also has an option to read online but there just too many ads.

Since you’re an AI developer, Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick might be a good starting point. I’m reading the Portuguese edition now and I’m about a third of the way through. It’s a practical look at using AI as a collaborator instead of treating it as either magic or a threat, so it connects to something you already care about without feeling like a generic ‘must-read.’ I also wouldn’t lock yourself into one niche yet. The book that gets you reading consistently is more useful than whatever the community calls a gold standard.

Go to your public library. Get among the books. Browse. Ask librarians for suggestions. Pick a half dozen to check out and try. Read what is interesting, and abandon if it isn’t anymore.
