You might as well read something huge like The Count of Monte Cristo

It’s excellent. And has themes in there that you might relate with/find interesting

Amazing - in that case go for Les Mis next. I’m about halfway through now but it’s been one of the best books I’ve ever read. Also recently did Crime and Punishment and War and Peace. Love a 1000+ page book 😂

Someone else just said crime and punishment, gonna add that now for sure. Definitely will go for Les Mis. Thank you! They're absolutely fantastic right? 😊

If you want to read it again, just look under 'Educational' in the prison library.

Anything by Kim Stanley Robinson, or Dan Simmons--both literary sci-fi. Gap Into Space, very weird sci-fi by Stephen R. Donaldson. Samuel R. Delaney, more weird sci-fi.

Ivanhoe, by Sir Walter Scott.

Non-fiction books by Mary Roach.

Gore Vidal, essays, and historical and contemporary literature.

The Name of The Rose

Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson took a little time to get through and I greatly enjoyed it.

might as well get a blueprint of the prison layout stashed in the book.
