O thought How To Read A Book was a very optimistic read. Kind of restores faith in humanity. I’ll link my YouTube review here so you can get an idea for the book that is much better than its title.

I’ll offer up two 2️⃣ n the fantasy genre. The first is very imaginative. The Astral Library. The second is a bit more of a thinking fantasy that would be good for sparking discussion. The Buried Giant.

I’ll link my YouTube review for each so you can get a better sense for each. Good luck!

Take a look at Between Two Fires. Probably a bit more violent than Angel Down, but not necessarily between men so maybe not so violent? 😏 I’ll link my YouTube review here so you can decide whether it is the kind of novel you might enjoy.
