Easy book to resume reading? (lemmy.ml)

I'm starting to read after a very long time - it has been decades, since I've "read" anything properly. Can I get a good recommendation?

I'd like to recommend Old Man's War, which is the first book in a sci-fi series. I read the first 3 books in the series basically back to back within 2 months and really enjoyed them. I'm in a similar spot as you and I'm getting back into reading after not reading much for the past few years and these got me back into the habit.

Not sci-fi, but anything in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett is also a good (and usually easy) read.

Just finished the audiobook of Starter Villain by Scalzi

Brilliant story, absolutely ruined by Wil Wheaton's narration. Same as he did to Ready Player One

It's almost like he's trying to sound like the lovechild of a California Valley Girl and a neckbeard Redditor

I've read all of them, but the Watch books are my favorite (as you can see).

I'd say they're my favorite as well! They're definitely the ones I tend to go to first when I get the urge to re-read any of the Discworld books.

Good choice in username by the way!
