I used to read a lot of series like The Maze Runner, The Hunger Games, Star Craft, Star Wars, etc. I still do have an interest for the Sci Fi genre and am always on a lookout for such books.
Now recently however, I've been more interested in reading books with historical genres, particularly set in the 20th century regarding military/wars, whether fictional or based on an biography.
IMO, the one of the best books I've read was
War Trash by
Ha Jin, depicting a fictional biography of an educated Chinese citizen being pressed into serving the People's Volunteer Army during the Korean War and his life during the short course of war before being captured by US and Korean Forces. The book then details about his life in the American POW camps and prisons, his interactions with his fellow Chinese volunteers, Koreans, Americans, etc and the things they would do to stay alive, to get back to the mainland or to escape, etc. Only for them to realize that they are truly war trash, forgotten and thrown aside. You could imagine from his POV, that this really could have been experienced by an average soldier during the Korean War.
@Mesa @GenericPlayer @char and to anyone else who enjoys reading about 20th century military, you guys ought to read this if you have the chance, seriously amazing book, great historical references with a strong authentic tone.
The most recent book I've bought was Pandemic: The Extinction Files. I've only went through the beginning, I was reading it to enhance my learning of epidemiology (cuz med school help) and so far it has quite an interesting beginning and used real life medical aspects to enhance the plot as well as secret government shit.
Yeeeahhh, that's just about the significant ones I can think of now.
