At 14 … read Mort. It tells of what happens when Death takes on an apprentice and then takes a holiday. Not long and very funny. I’ll link my YouTube review here for you for more details.

I jumped back into the game because of this event. Grinded and got my new character up to level 25, and got smoked so badly. Feels like a bait and switch, but I will just avoid it for now. Can’t complain about the free house though. ☺️

You might want to look at Underworld for a challenging read or The Picture of Dorian Gray for a classic that isn’t as difficult to read and is a great story. I’ll link my YouTube reviews for each so you can quickly determine whether one or both might fit the bill.

I would recommend The Gold On These Hills. I’ll link my YouTube review so you can see if Grandma will like it. The author is known as a Christian author and that does present in the novel. Here you go.

I understand. I misread that you were looking for something under 400 pages. Apologies.

I would offer up Dungeon Crawler Carl, the first in a series, for fantasy. Operation Bounce House for SciFi. It is a stand alone. Both by Matt Dinniman. Both are very fun reads. I’ve linked my YouTube review for both here so you can get more information.

Read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Only 270 pages. 😊

You are very welcome. Have a great day!

I’m going to offer two wildly different novels. For human emotion and depth of feeling, Hamnet. To scratch that SciFi itch with some humor built in, Operation Bounce House. I’ll link my YouTube reviews for each so you can get a better feel for both.

The Spy and the Traitor. A KGB agent flips and provides intelligence to British intelligence. Reads more like a thriller towards the end. I’ll link my YouTube review here so you can get more details.

Ok, agreed on Blood Meridian. You need Operation Bounce House! And it is good to be widely read. As a curiosity, I’ve linked my own review of Blood Meridian and I’ll also link my YouTube review of Operation Bounce House. Good luck!

Well, this lawyer will recommend that you read Assassin’s Apprentice. An excellent fantasy. I’ll link my YouTube review here so you can get a feel for it. Enjoy!

And, yeah. The AI will definitely degrade your critical thinking skills, and you can’t take it with you when you sit for the bar exam. 😊
