Just got back into reading. Any book suggestions?

For fiction (something I struggle with), I always recommend "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. It's short, incredibly well written, and a really fun ride. If you're feeling like something deeper, "In Cold Blood", by Capote is a fantastic read.

As far as self help stuff, I've tried a bunch over the years but nothing really stuck because I always found that working on the things I wanted to change was always more powerful than reading about how to change the things I want to change. In person therapy for the win.

As far as other stuff to read, I always enjoy a good biography; you're already into the person and they usually cut out all the fluffy exposition (which is why I struggle with fiction).

I started a book thread around this time last year, maybe something in here will peak your interest:

Mr Mercedes - Stephen King

The Talisman - Stephen King and Peter Straub

Memory Man - David Baldacci

Fasting - Jentezen Franklin

Loved this book and movie

Charles Todd, a mother/son writing team, now only son. The Ian Rutledge series is fantastic, about fifteen books. Rutledge is a Scotland Yard detective after WW1 in London and solves murder cases, suffers from PSD from shellshock, has a girlfriend in every town, and drives a Jaguar all over the English countryside. Unfortunately he had to cancel his afterwar wedding due to the complications of his shellshock. Very entertaining.Highly recommended!

There is a female equivalent by Charles Todd known as Bess Crawford, for the wifee. She was field nurse during WW1.

Also, The Revenant was a killer book, way better than the movie.

You’re literally gonna get every book ever written as a suggestion 😎

A Tiger in the Woods- Claude Balls

Not a book, but I suggest downloading the Kindle app on your phone. I've always loved having a physical book in my hands, and would probably read 6 - 8 books a year, but since I downloaded Kindle, I've burned through probably 8 - 10 books in the past 4-ish months because I always have my phone on me. 

War and Peace - Tolstoy 

Seat of the Soul if your into personal growth/ reflection/philosophy

Big Burn if your into non-fiction

Cost of these Dreams if you like athletes and what shapes them. 

I enjoyed the movie and after reading your post I'll be at my local book store on zsaturday to see if they have a copy for sale. 

I read an enormous amount of books. 

Of many varieties.

One that I picked up recently, as a 'read on the train when going to Uni work', is "The Hiroshima Men", by Iain Macgregor. His other books, like 'The Lighthouse of Stalingrad,' 'Checkpoint Charlie' and the 'US Civil War - Battle by Battle' are also great books. 

It seemed timely, what with the 80th anniversary of the bombings looming,  when I saw it during my regular perusing's of the shelves in any bookstore I get near.

It covers so many aspects of the whole Nuclear project, the drive to Japan through the Pacific, and the subsequent Bombings. In , easily read chapters (useful for the hour long train trips). Learning that the Hiroshima Mayor, was a devout Christian, was a surprise. And his / his families journey through his career, to his end.

Things, such as that the B29 program, from design through to their construction and use (over many years and missions) cost More than the Manhattan Project, was quite a surprise. 

And, that Paul Tibbets, was so much more than 'just' the pilot of the Enola Gay. 

So many things within the book are like that.

Another one, military related, that I read many years ago, was The Monument Men. That the movie was lightly based on. So many revealing things about prejudices towards races / religions were shown within it. 

This book was given to me 25 years ago by someone of means. Feel good book.

Read about 6-8 books a year.

Wish I had time to read more.

Non fiction adventure, biography or autobiographies are my choice for reading.

Huge used book and music store about an hour away. Crazy how many good books you can get for as little as 0.75-$1.50.

Jenn reads books on kindle.

I prefer turning pages.

I tried Kindle, but just can't handle it.

I spend too much time with screens as it is, with Work, so "turning pages" is the way I prefer to conduct my leisure reading.

Though, the Granny Flat I had built, first for my Grandad, then my Mum, is a dense 'library' of books and magazines (even with hoicking something like 11 /13 Tonnes [metric] of Mags a few years ago) nowadays, after I (foolishly) let the crazy old woman into one of the house bedrooms....... 😱

Mind you, we are all on bloody screens here.

"The Things our Fathers Saw"

Kudos to you guys that can sit down and read novels, never been my thing.  Besides I read VitalMX daily and pretty much takes care of my need for drama, satire and comedy. 

Somewhat like the OP, self-help, survival books are what I prefer.  A non-fiction story about someone who survived the unimaginable, and how they did it.  Also, books like on how to tie a knot for any occasion.  How to use an EPI-pen, take some one's blood pressure, signal help with a reflective mirror.  Crap like that. 

If you like harrowing stories of the non fiction type I mentioned it above but the big burn is a great book about the others forest fire in US history in the 1910’s and what people went through to fight and survive. Some cool tidbits on teddy Roosevelt as well.
