I mostly read science and evidence-based non-fiction that fill in my understanding of the world.
I’m branching into fiction more and am hoping to find the niches that I enjoy. Hard science and adventure fiction like Jurassic Park and The Lost World are favorites. I think books that blend in realism and are somewhat believable might be my thing.
