I've never into the fiction book culture and always gravitate to the more practical non-fiction books on the top 100 lists, but I am looking for some good book ideas and wanting to try one out, but don't want to be disappointed. I also don't know what to look for. I think my aversion had to do with boring high school and university English books that they forced you to read.

As a kid, I fell in love with the book Flowers for Algernon and loved the whole psychological thriller aspect of it and the humanism. I also always liked mystery and thriller books like Nancy Drew and some of my favourite movies are thrillers and futuristic ones. I also don't mind a good mystery novel, but tend to shy away from anything solely focused on crime/murder mysteries and like a balance between intricacy, but not looking for something completely aloof and incomprehensible. At the same time, books that seem to be written by a high schooler that overdose on sappy romance, which completely unnerves me as well.

If anyone gets my gist and has any recommendations, I would love to hear!

Not sure if anyone gets the jist or would have any recommendations...?
Haha sorry for the typo-s and botched/repeated sentences..ironic that it's in the literary section :P
