Just for fun, recommend me some books

I don't normally ask Allkpop users for book recommendations.

And this thread is kinda just for fun.

Well... these are some books that I like. (So that you can maybe recommend me similar books)

• the Moomin books by Tove Jansson (I pretty much like a lot of Nordic children's books)
• Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
• Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
• Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Namjoo
• The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
• Babette's Feast by Karen Blixen
• The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa
• You, Me and Our Heartstrings by Melissa See

You can also recommend me books based on what you think I might like. (e.g. boats, geese, pirates...)

The thing about me though is that I prefer books that have no smut in it, because reading that kind of stuff makes me actually uncomfortable.

But well... recommend me some books that you think I would enjoy reading.

Well... I haven't watched the movie adaption of The Outsiders and I have sometimes thought about maybe watching it someday.

I have read all the LotR books, but I feel like I kinda prefer the movies. (Despite the fact that I found it kinda fun to read the trilogy in my native language.)

Quote from xx-jenn-xx

I think the movie was good, it had an awesome cast line up, and i felt it was pretty close to the book.

I haven't had any desire to read the LotR books but maybe one day just for fun lol

Before I read the LotR books, I read The Hobbit.

I think that when I decided to read it, I wasn't that much into LotR and I also kinda did it because it is a short book.

Well... and I have actually felt like re-reading The Hobbit this year.

I read it before I watched the Hobbit movie trilogy, and I feel that reading it after having seen the movies would feel different.

HwaGoose Have you read any self-help books?

I don't usually read that, but I did read a book recently which was a memoir, but it also had some self-help stuff in it. (well... the book is about a woman, who went from being alcoholic to being a marathon runner)
