Help me get back into books

Guys so, a little background. Im 25, a doctor and have been an AVID book reader/collector till 2020. My bookshelf houses 500 books, a collection I built in 5 years- basically the crux or a نچور of my teenage. My go-to genre is high fantasy with some slowburn romance in between which doesnt dominate the plot. My favorites are the Legend trilogy, the Shades of Magic trilogy, the Illuminae files, all of Leigh Bardugos books, Sarah J Maas' books (yes, guilty). Ive read most if not all of the famous books that came out before 2019 and Ive been out of touch since then. I stopped reading since I started medschool and it haunts me alot because reading was THE BIGGEST PART OF ME and now I have a shelf full of books (pictured above) that stares at me everyday and beckons to me to return to my teenage hyperfixation.

So I need yall to help me, suggest me books like the ones I mentioned, pls no Shatter me or Red Queen shiz tho. I love Brandon Sanderson but cant pick him up again because of how ENORMOUS the books are. Any niche series are also welcome.

If someone from your immediate family commits a crime like murder or rape, would you defend them?

Just saw ishaq dars grandsons headline which made me think what would an average person do if their close loved ones commit a crime. Would you defend them and save them from punishment? or would you let them get punished?

By immediate family I mean: father, mother, brother, sister, daughter, son.

as a partner of a MATCH27 applicant, how can I be of help to him?

My partner is applying for MATCH27. Stats: Visa requiring, Step2-268, YOG 2025, 4 low impact pubs, currently doing rotations in the US. Before the match deadline, he has to move between 4 states for observerships. Has alot on his plate.

Im also a doctor so im familiar with the entire process, I did the observership search for him and all. I want to know what else can I do to help him because we both need him to match first so I can follow. Should I be researching IMG friendly programs? Any signalling strategy?

Dont get Macbooks if you cant get Applecare

My cat bit my laptops screen (yes that happens) and the panel got cooked, had to be changed. Original screen replacement was costing around 165k, third party around 85k. Got the third party chinese replacement from AppleForce in Gulberg, Lahore. Heartbroken because it was a graduation gift from my dad, I didnt tell him about this whole situation and got it repaired on my own.

Honestly, what use are macbooks if repair costs THIS much? I strongly urge every macbook owner to get Applecare, its like 20usd per month. And dont get macbooks if you cant afford applecare or the repairs because at the end, its not worth getting something repaired for 2/3rd of its price lmao.

How do you cope with the depression?

How do you cope with the depression of sitting at home after housejob and preparing for exams like fcps mrcp and especially usmle? HJ ended on the 15th and i've just kind of fell in a spiral because of unemployment. Finding a job would mean delaying exams so i've got no options.

Why do people get westernised within a month of Western exposure?

This is not satire, its a genuine question I have on my mind. Ive seen alot of people go abroad for a little bit and come back with alot of western changes within them. I want to understand why: does our culture not appeal to the younger generation? Is it because of the over-glorification of the West? Are all the boundaries that people adhere to in Pakistan solely imposed by culture?

Ive seen people go there and abandon hijabs, go from modest clothing to dressing scantily, become casual about physical touch with the opposite gender, go on to look down on Pakistanis after they come back from abroad.

These things just represent an abandonment of values which I dont feel too strongly about. Why do you guys think this happens?
