I’ve seen a few posts like this but I would love to start reading again- sadly all book stores are closed. Anyone have recommendations?
I really enjoyed 1984, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and One Mans Wilderness.

I try to buy local but you mail order a lot of books cheaply these days. I use a site that provides free postage…and it’s usually cheaper than local.
Saying that. I’d recommend everyone read Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. It’s not as intense as 1984 but it’s funny and clever.

Order a Kindle online. It isn’t quite the same feeling as reading a proper book, but it is close. You don’t have to worry about book stores being open.

And you just download books through the kindle right? I really do enjoy holding and reading a real book though

Yeah, you just buy what you want and it downloads over wireless in a few minutes. Ideal when you find a book you want to read at 2am.

I’m fairly sure you have to order them from Amazon. They have the book store.

You can also have Kindle on your phone if you’re comfortable at reading on your phone.

If you’re looking for a classic, I recommend “The Whale.” A.k.a Moby Dick. It was a harder read as a child, but it is a great book. Treasure Island is great too.

If you like horror books I really recommend The Auctioneer by Joan Samson. It’s an old book, but it’s been reprinted recently.
If you like books about B-movies and filmmaking I highly recommend “All I Need to Know About Filmmaking I learned from the Toxic Avenger” by Lloyd Kaufman. Such an entertaining and insightful read about his career and making movies.
If you like non-fiction, Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix is also a great read. It’s a beautiful big book full of illustrations and history about the horror book publishing industry. It focuses mostly on the 70’s and 80’s, when horror books were in higher demand.
