    Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson. It’s a 5th book in the Stormlight Archive fantasy series, and a fitting conclusion to the first half of it.

    That said, I recommend any books by Sanderson, that was just the latest one.

    I read The Things They Carried and it hit real hard. Great book but a tough read emotionally at some parts.

    I’ve been reading a series lately. The Cycle of Galand. I’m on book 12 of 13, so I’m almost done and quite excited.

      I liked the theories but I felt he could’ve been much more concise about them. Make the book shorter by about half.

    My own posts. But seriously, I really liked Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, it’s a comfy read, not too long.

    The Secrets of Dorley Hall. The premise sounds a bit unusual but it works incredibly

    Stoner by John Williams. It’s a story about a man navigating his failed marriage, child, deep friendship, etc. The way the ending unfolded wrecked me

    The Wolf Hall trilogy. Its obviously not to be taken as historical fact and it omits things like Cromwell blocking Anne Boleyn from starting state schools and other good works for the poor because he wanted to bribe noblemen, I guess because Mantel wanted to make Cromwell more of a hero than he was at times.

    However, if you treat it as alternative history its a good, if slow look at that time period. If you cant be arsed to read the books then the TV series is really good, even if it rushes the end a little.
