Hiya,

My local library summer reading challenge has a few items with which I could use y’all’s help.

Read a book with a musical theme.

Read a book outside your comfort zone (I read mostly novels, and mostly sci-fi).

Read a book by an author from a different cultural background. (I’m a white American and I’ve already read Three Body Problem)

Read a book suggested to you.

I would appreciate any suggestions!

    Outside your comfort zone / different culture: The Last Ringbearer by Kirill Yeskov. It examines the events of The Lord of The Rings, from the perspective of Mordor and the orcs. Written by a Russian author. Super good, almost better than LotR.

    As a suggestion form me (a random on the internet) ultraprocessed people, the science of food that isn’t food.
