I’ve finally fallen in love with reading again over the last year. Problem is I’ve only been reading non-fiction. it makes my brain hurt. I’d like to have some stuff I can turn to when attempting to read gender trouble gives me another headache. I don’t have any particular preference for genre. I used to read fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian stuff but I’m more than happy to explore other genres as well!

A short list of things I’ve read for reference:

  • The saxon stories, Bernard Cornwell
  • LOTR, the hobbit
  • 1984
  • The road, Cormac McCarthy
  • The plague dogs, Richard Adams
  • alex [they, il]

    I have no recommendations but please know that Gender Trouble is actually a psyop book written only to melt the brain of people who attempt to read it (/s)

    I just can’t get my head around this monster of a book!

      I just got to chapter 3. I started reading it around christmas lol. My e-reader says it’ll take me about 12 hours to finish. I’m also reading seeing like a state which is a little over twice as long and that’s saying it’ll take me 10. Gender trouble makes me question if I even know how to read. I wish you the best in your endeavor, try to avoid an aneurysm if you can
