For me the books became nourishment of the brain of sorts but once they were just fantasy entertainment and escapism. Maybe I am getting older or I am just getting my entertainment from different sources nowadays
I always consumed those cheap fantasy novels in droves but now I am looking for different experiences of being human and generally something that provokes thought.
My favorite romances definitely have happy people having affairs.
The adults. By a lot.
Ok but everyone should read discworld, a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, Where the Wild Things Are, the lion witch and wardrobe etc
Gatekeeping books is a great sign that someone didn’t read anything but the Wikipedia synopsis just to sound smart on the internet.
I have no shame for enjoying the entire Rick Riordan Olympian / Norse / Roman series. But I did have "reading to kid before bed" as an excuse.
I started the series as a teenager and I'm not going to stop just because I'm older now.
That said I was also reading my parent's books when I was younger too. I grew up on Dan Brown and Clive Cussler just as much as I grew up on Rick Riordan and Anthony Horowitz. I feel like my taste in books has only devolved as I've gotten older if anything.
What about historical nonfiction?
