On my work breaks I like to read but I'm out of books! I always have the hardest time picking out books, I don't want to commit to reading something that I might not like (not to mention spend money on it).
I like dystopian and post apocalyptic fiction best. Unfortunately there's not a section in the bookstore for that It doesn't HAVE to fit into those genres, I like some fantasy and science fiction in general, but dystopian is usually my favorite. My favorite book is probably Swan Song. I liked The Stand, Hunger Games (only read the first two so far), and The Passage series (another one is coming out in fall). There have been some others but I don't honestly remember the names. There was one where an EMP detonated over the US wiped out all electrical power in the country, I liked that. I just read a book called Lexicon which isn't really dystopian, just Sci Fi, but was very good. I suppose they all have some thriller aspect to them too. Characters are important, I need to like them or at least some of the main ones. I was thinking of reading The Road or I am Legend but don't know if I'd like books with so few characters. I tend to like books with multiple separate stories that eventually intersect. I don't FEEL like I'd like zombie/vampire/robot/alien stories but that's what The Passage series is like (zombie/vampire) and I enjoy those. So maybe I don't really know what I like
Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations for me?
