It never fails, when I’m Ubering and someone starts talking about reading, I go down some of my recent non fictions, cause I falsely assume more people read those than my various 40k and other esoteric fantasy interests. Without missing a beat they will instantly start saying names of authors I’ve never heard of before. I’ll look them up later and it’s always some Y.A. it is really incredible how popular it is amongst soooo many people that aren’t really that young. I get it though, it’s comfort food, let people enjoy whatever makes them happy.
Anything Terry Pratchett or R.A. Salvatore. And even though he gets heat (and rightly so for his xanth series) Pierce Anthony holds some fond childhood memory with his incarnations of immortality. Just finished traffic by Tom Vanderbilt last week, that was a fascinating look at how and why we drive the way we do. Weeds was pretty dope(pun fully intended). Bully pulpit and freakonomics are another two that stand out off of the top of my head. I listen to most of my fiction with audio books while driving Uber.
