Q. I am 26 and love to read. I feel like I hard a hard time finding books that interest me. The young adult books are too young, but the adult books bore me. I really like fantasy! Anyone have the same problem??? Any book recommendations ?
A. If you find the adult books boring, you aren't reading the right books for you.
There are many adult books centered around characters about your age and written by authors about your age.
Try some of these.
Fiction:
Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen
A novel of star-crossed lovers, set in the circus world circa 1932. When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, grifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her.
The Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson Book #1
An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel.
If you like art, political intrigue and European settings, read Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series.
Like horses-read Dick Francis.
Romance, action Navy seals & women sharpshooters appeal. Try Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series.
Vampires with some humor- MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series is for you.
Have you read the Anne McCaffery Pern books. How about Katherine Kurtz or Robert Jordan, since you're fond of fantasy.
Non-Fiction
Freakonomics by Dubner & Leavitt
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
Unbroken by Laura Hildenbrand
The Blind Side by Michael Lewis
The Survivors club by Ben Sherwood
Some great YA books
The reformed Vampire Support Group by Catherine Jinks
Soul Enchilada by David Macinnis Gill
Ship Breaker and Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi

I'm 26 and female and have been recommended lots of good fiction YA books. I want an adult book! suggestions?
Q. I really enjoyed the Hunger Games recently, but want something a little more grown up..
I don't necessarily need dystopian. I recenetly read Water for Elephants and Jane Eyre as well, and loved them both. I think I'm just looking for really good books that aren't YA, haha.
