I dont know. I guess I dont have a particular genre that I like, or atleast I haven't found one yet. I'm also back reading after some time. In school I loved percy jackson, inheritance series by christopher paolini, treasure island and all. Now recently I read 1984, metamorphosis, catcher in the rye, animal farm, thousand splendid suns and some others. There is a lot for me out there to explore.

After writing this much I think I'm more into memoirs or harsh but closer to life stories lately.

thank you for this comment. I am somebody who used to breeze through books maybe even skipping words and sentences just to get to the end. The result was I finished the book but never really understood it nor would remember anything after sometime.

Recently I am trying more to feel and understand them. What I think now after reading your comment is that it may be good to have a background read on the author. This is two authors I have read in a row whose works become more profound when you understand that most of the feelings of the character are those of the author themselves. That it is based on their own experiencr or related thoughts and the story gets so much more meaning.
