A Book to Make Me Think and a Book to Make Me Laugh
To balance it out, I'd also like a book to relieve the tension, a funny little something to help me unwind after a long day. I enjoy realistic fiction or even a book of short stories. If you know of anything, feel free to suggest it below.

Also try the book Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella. It's the kind of Laugh out loud book, it's super funny, romantic and a bit of drama.

I'd recommend Guy de Maupassant - he is a 19th century writer, however the things he wrote about are still relevant. His short stories are fantastic - they reveal human nature in a funny way.MishM1 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2018, 12:57 I've been longing for a good book that would be hard to put down. I like books that make me think about life, humanity and human nature, something with a little psychology. I don't enjoy crude humour or gory scenes too much but if it's an exceptional read, feel free to suggest, just give me a little heads up.

Also I've just read a book which does both - some parts of it make you think about humanity and some are easy to read and a lot of fun. It is called "Tramps, Thieves and IT" by Val Grian - this is contemporary.

As for humorous books, I just read one that was hilarious, although a little raunchy. It is a modern romance novel called Dirty by Kylie Scott. It is pretty realistic for a romance, with a great body-positive message and good characters. Although it is a bit of a stretch, it might just wind up being your cup of tea.
