I love reading. Read about 50 books a year each year. I read a lot of different genres, the most common are history, sci fi, novels about the inner lives of women, psychology, sociology, science, healthcare, philosophy..

Are you looking for recs? What type!

I listen to some on audiobook - normally a little less than half audio. That I mostly do while taking walks or hikes, and while I’m getting ready for work in the morning.

Physical reading - one of my favorite things to do is take a long bath (hour plus) with a book (I do this a few times a week after work), I typically read at least 30 min in bed before sleep each day, on the weekends I normally sit and read for an hour or two each day (over coffee in the morning, sometimes at the park, in bed when waking up), and then I normally get a lot of reading in on vacation and personal travel. When I visit my family across the country a few times a year it’s normal for me I finish a whole book just in transit, when I go on vacation one of my favorite things is to read at the pool, in nature, at a cool wine bar or coffee shop. Ultimately reading is just sort of my number one hobby and I’ve developed a lot of rituals around it that I enjoy on top of enjoying reading.

Live with an English major and his favorite genre is fantasy. His fav book series is wheel of time. It’s long as hell, but I just watched the tv show on Amazon and I thought it was good. He however didn’t like it bc it didn’t follow the books.

Thriller! The Silent Patience
Some nonfiction: Bad Blood, Blink

Sci fi! The stormlight archive series is my current fav

Nonfiction: just finished The Genius of Birds.

I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex. All started 3 weeks into the job. I moved my family cross country for this job and just bought a house. He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.
