Ask HN: Suggest Me Some Good Fiction

4 points by mkbkn 1y ago ↗ HN

Preferably, excluding your top 10. Just to see something which are the not the usual all-time bestsellers.

Want to get back into the reading habit, build vocabulary, and go deep into the visualization/creative part. Constant Youtube and mobile phones have over-stimulated my brain and my focus is at all time low.

I do have watched a lot of spy & WW2 movies. I like history, sci-fi and adventure. But please recommend all kinds of genre.

I keep a running list of books on my website:

I have read each book here so I suppose I would recommend all of them (except in the cases where my short review indicates otherwise).
