Started reading about 2–2.5 years ago, and this is my little bookshelf so far. It's all over the place, I know. I was trying out a bunch of genres.

As someone who grew up playing fantasy games (WW3, WoW), I really thought fantasy would be my favourite genre, but it's actually one of the least enjoyable genres for me. So far, I think I like historical fiction and classics the best.

My favourite books so far are:

• Lonesome Dove
• The Master and Margarita
• Shōgun
• Siddhartha
• East of Eden

My least favourite are:

• The Art of War
• Lolita
• Normal People
• Conversations with Friends
• Paradise Lost (this is here because it's the only book I've DNFed so far. I feel like it's too advanced for me. English isn't my first language, and it feels like every line is important, so if you space out for five seconds, it's GG. Looking forward to reading it in the future, though.)

What do you think I should read next? I'm thinking about Meditations / The Daily Stoic, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Idiot, or Hemingway.
