r/booksuggestions

Hello all,

I am going on a road trip with the husband and am looking for a good audiobook to listen to that we can both be interested in.

I am looking for non-fiction audiobooks

The more niche the content, the better, honestly.

We both really enjoy video games and psychology.

We're foodies, and we love history and politics (well, we dont love politics, but we enjoy learning about them).

Thank you for any and all suggestions ahead of time!

I hope yall are having the best day!

So, I only read Stephen King for the past 8 years. I have 11 books left to read.

Question: which other new books or authors I should try to read, after I finally finnish reading him?

Looking for book recommendations as a 23-year-old girly 💕 Can be self-growth, confidence, mindset, romance, feminine energy, life lessons, happiness, or anything that made an impact on you.

Been slowly turning the pages of the last few books I’ve picked up. Has truly been a slog. I typically gravitate towards mystery or thriller books but I am open to trying whatever! I will take any suggestions! What are the best books you’ve picked up recently? Have you read anything that you simply couldn’t put down and read through the night? That’s what I miss. Send me your favorites!

I hate to say it, but I keep reading books where the women are v boring. I want complex personalities. My favorite books for female leads would be Throne of Glass series both Celaena and Manon. Also Vin from Mistborn. I’m honestly not even looking for fantasy or romance, just something with a female lead that is smart, dynamic, and gives no fucks, you know? Someone I’d admire.

Any recs?

Hi, I’m fairly new to reading in this era of my life and I’m interested in a book that tackles the idea of psychosis. Whether thats the whole world feeling like a dream or the personal struggles of a character with psychosis, I’m open to all suggestions!

I'm looking for titles of books that will make me more intelligent and more of an intellectual.

Guys l am not American but l really like its culture and everything related to that especially the diversity of opinions and perspectives when it comes to a lot of issues, anyways as the title says l am at this moment interested in this debate between conservatives and progressives and l desperitely need book suggestions about this topic specifically about progressiveness and anything that would open my eyes, Thanks
I have to add that l usually don’t like the bestselling books or the wildly famous ones because they tend to be superficial, l want something deeper and critical

Jack Kerouac - On The Road
Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray
Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club

anyone who’s familiar with all 3 might suspect a running theme

thank you !

I need book recommendations that would make me ugly sob for days on end!! I need grieving, yearning and something that would not leave my mind even if I wanted it to.

Currently reading Kafka On the Shore and I realised how much I love cats being actual characters. I also realised that some of my favourite games also include cats as actual characters (fran bow, stray) Are there any books out there from the perspective of a cat or just about talking cats? Kind of a weirdly specific thing to ask of but I just really like cats.

I just read a book called Careless People, which does a good job of explaining numerous unethical actions by Facebook's senior leadership, as told by someone who worked there. On the last page, the author said something that really struck me: "They [Facebook senior leadership] just didn't lose any sleep over it." While this was a great book, I wish the author had considered why, beyond the few sentences scattered throughout the book about their greed, newfound power, and isolation from the rest of the world.

Essentially, the book made me ask: Why do so many people not care about their unethical behavior? I want to know what these types of people's internal logic is, because it is hard for me to think that most people who are what we would consider evil know they are the bad guy, and wholeheartedly embrace the label.

Examples of books that could help answer this question: fiction books that expound on the villain's perspective, psychology books that examine why people act unethically, philosophy books about human behavior, etc.

Thanks!

Okay, this is kind of specific, but I’m looking for book recommendations where the daughter moved out to find herself and is kind of the black sheep/screw-up of the family. She has to come back home for whatever reason and still feels like a failure, but then she meets a guy who helps her realize how amazing she is, and they fall in love. Also this my first time using Reddit so sorry if I did this request wrong. 😆

Hi I’m looking for books like Don’t Let The Forest In by CG Drews but would like something adult rather than YA. Or really well written YA that feels like it borders on being adult is fine too but nothing that feels “teenager-like”. Would love it to be queer too but not a must

Does anyone know of any? Im facing a similarly bad situation and want to read about the experiences of people on death row.

I don’t know what category this would fall under but I just read Yesteryear and Social Creature and I want a book similar that has all or some of the following: social climbing, inauthentic social media, fraud/scamming, little bit of murder or mystery, a general sense of seemingly rich happy people online not actually being perfect and happy
I wonder why I’m seeking that out 🧐😅

I would appreciate any interesting book suggestions

Baby boy is two months old and loves contact naps and being rocked to sleep. My husband has been using my Kindle when he puts him to bed and now I’m jealous ha. I’m finishing Wild Side by Elsie Silver. I used to read a lot of Elin Hilderbrand in the summer. I have a higher stress job that requires a lot of brain power so I like to be able to escape and shut my brain off. (Hubby reads non fiction war novels 😵‍💫). Right now I’m watching New Girl. So you get an idea of my brain and emotional capacity. Not a huge fan of fantasy.

Any feel good easy reads that you wont be totally thrown off if you have to put down all the sudden because your newborn wakes up? Thanks y’all 🤍

I only read non-fiction, and it's all written in a sort of historical past tense. For example, some World War 2 stuff. The author wasn't even alive for WW2. Or some white as fuck European person writing about what happened in Afghanistan in 1842.

This is the first book I've read where the writer develops the story as they are experiencing it in real time, and they sort of become part of the conspiracy.

Basically something like: "I decided to write this story and then somebody tried to silence / assassinate me. Here's how it happened in real time."

I'm not even finished the book. I'm about half way through but when I finish it I want more page turners like this.

Hey! So I am looking for an "older" romance book. By older, I mean anything before 2005.

I dislike basically 100% of books that come out these days, especially the romance novels that come out these days.

I feel authors 20+ years ago genuinely were just better at writing, but we can chalk that up to my personal preferance.

It can be spicy or not. I am not particular.

The only romance novel I have liked at this point is Time Travelers Wife because it was so real, outside of the time traveling part 😂

Any suggestions?
