I like Kim Stanley Robinson’s books for the grounded, realistic hard science fiction worlds he crafts, and the believable utopian ideals he espouses.Īdditionally I like reading non-fiction books because I love to learn. I read Matthew Reilly when I want non-stop action. In the past I read books and found enjoyment in them for more explicit reasons. Maybe this is a new kind of purpose in books for me. I enjoy the act of reading the book, less so the remembering, or the lasting things I get from it. I enjoy the reading, the words, the experience. It is hard to put a finger on it, but I think what I enjoy when I read these books is simply being in the moment. I read the book, I enjoyed the book, but afterwards I wasn’t exactly sure why. That changed in 2018 when I picked up a copy of 1Q84 on sale in the Kindle store. Murakami’s books were always of interest to me but in reading the blurbs I never really knew what I would be in for, so shied away from delving in.
