For me it was shogun which showed me I could get through a big read, and then the stormlight archive.
I’d read a bit when I was little but outside of books I needed to read for school I rarely ready until I hit 25 and somebody got me to try shogun. It was honestly one of the best stories I’d ever experienced and I was blown away to be as invested as I was.
Then once I was done I was lent the way of kings and my wallets never gonna forgive that friend for lending me that damn book.
I’m near caught up with stormlight, onto all of Brandon Sanderson’s other series, plowing through kingkiller, lonesome dove and looking to pick up some others all in a year.
Sometimes you just need to happen across the right book haha.
I’ve JUST finished this and what a book! Not my typical read but enjoyed every page, blasted through in about 3 weeks
