![[image loading]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/514hIkoe-JL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg) Really good. Honestly if you have any issues with depression/anxiety. Read this book. You may relate and it will help. The author fought with depression/anxiety and this was his contribution for those suffering. And right now I am reading "The Circuit" by Francisco Jimenez ![[image loading]](https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388467246l/277241.jpg) Really SAD!!!!! About a migrant family trying to get by in old america. Right now I am trying to read 1 - 2 books a month. I am doing pretty well. hehe | ||

![[image loading]](https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780316223232-us.jpg) Room by Emma Donoghue So far the dialogue is from a boy who is in this room with his mother. It read's like a child is telling the story so it is weird, but i like it. And I saw the movie so i am in for more sad reading  | ||

The only thing that sometimes gives me a head ache is the dialogue in his books. or at least the two I've read. He doesn't really say who is speaking. And doesn't use quotation marks. It's different, yes it breaks "rules" to writing, but it is not bad. | ||

If you loved no country as well (which i think is one of the weaker books, still good ofc) then you will enjoy the rest of his work for sure, have fun! I think them disliking his style (which is greater than life, almost biblical) was already brought up when i posted about reading some mccarthy, in the end it's just a personal opinion though (obviously) | ||

Or maybe dwell into a few novels i got lying around....Hannibal books, the road, I am legend etc I just reread Hyperion a few weeks back. The first one is fantastic, the second less so but still OK. The first one is basically a collection of novellas, some of them highly disturbing for me. + Show Spoiler + As a father, the scholar's story was really killing me. Experiencing this is really a nightmare. After that, I started reading The Virgin Suicides but that was just unbearably sad, so I decided to read something else for now. So I started reading The Lord of the Rings. I have read it before, maybe 20 years ago. At that time I found it incredibly boring (still finished it, at that time I would still do that even with crappy books). I was in Oxford a few weeks back and maybe that is why I thought that now that I am old I might try these books again. I am a few dozen pages in, and frankly I enjoy it so far. Far wittier than I remembered. Edit: For the record, I enjoyed both No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. I have not read any other McCarthy and maybe I never will. | ||

-Ravens shadow -The faithful and the fallen -Broken empire -Hyperion -The Red Queen's War Keep in mind that I loved "The kingkiller chronicles" and "The first law", and I really enjoyed the "Shattered Sea" series so far. That being said, does anyone who have read some, or more of these series got any recommendations to where I should start next? Also any series like these you believe I absolutely should check out, don`t hesitate to tip me | ||
