I finally got myself a library card. I brought home two books and started one of them. Can’t wait to restart reading as a hobby.
The two books for anyone interested are I, Robot by Isaac Asimov and The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K Le Guin.
Libraries are one of the greatest things in the world. A free hub of knowledge and entertainment and so much more.
If you're looking at science fiction, might I recommend 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson?
Oooh thanks for the suggestion! I will look it up.
For more KSR, good "hard" SF, try his Mars trilogy. If you read that first, you could then try his Aurora, in which he basically says "the whole concept of the Mars trilogy was stupid and wrong" - not many authors would do that.
Another big read you might enjoy is Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga. I've only read books 1 & 2 - *Pandora's Star *and Judas Unchained , but both were fabulous. They're effectively one huge book split into two, book 2 starts exactly at the point book 1 ends.
Will do thank you for the suggestions!
