I've finally fallen in love with reading again over the last year. Problem is I've only been reading non-fiction. it makes my brain hurt. I'd like to have some stuff I can turn to when attempting to read gender trouble gives me another headache. I don't have any particular preference for genre. I used to read fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian stuff but I'm more than happy to explore other genres as well!

A short list of things I've read for reference:

The saxon stories, Bernard Cornwell
LOTR, the hobbit
1984
The road, Cormac McCarthy
The plague dogs, Richard Adams

The King in Yellow is great. Doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Absolutely, I wish his suspense catalogue was bigger! It's been neat to see his ideas getting worked in to modern fiction like True Detective. There's also a handful of TTRPG games that are using the mythos of Carcosa and the king in yellow as the premise for pre-written adventure scenarios.
