You should check out The Dresden Files. It’s modern fantasy chock full of pop culture, anime and folklore references. They’re easy and fun to read and don’t take themselves too seriously.
it sounds very interesting ill have to check it out. ill probrably have to but it becasue my librairy probrably dont have it.
Check with your library. Most systems in the US have online catalogs you can check, and if your branch doesn't have it, they will can place it on hold and transfer it to yours for you at no cost. If they don't have it, ask if you can get it via LINK+ (an inter-library loan) from another system. This is also provided at no cost with most systems.
A quick internet search can get you in touch via chat, phone, or email with your local library and someone to help you find a book.
I work at a library and people reach out to us looking for books all the time. It's our job and we like to help people connect with information. Don't be afraid to reach out. We serve everyone from retired boomers, little kids, unhoused, and people with special needs all day long. It's a big club and you're invited.
For, example - in my county we have over 20 branches (big and small) and allow you to check out up to 100 books (ridiculous right?) free of charge for three weeks (that you can re-new) for twice for 3 more weeks each time. That's over two months to read a book! (I'm a slow reader too!).
Go get yourself a library card and use it to unlock the world.
