Long distance trains. Nothing compares to the feeling, when you look up from your book, still stuck in the world of the character, and then you see trees in the train window going at 250km/h. Surreal. Or chilling with a book while the train slowly accends a mountain, and a snowy top appears in the distance after a tunnel.

You can sit, read and do nothing, with an everchanging view

Ich bin tatsächlich nicht so sehr von dem Schreibstil angetan, weil viel Dinge beschrieben werden, die ohne Erklärung einfach für sich belassen werden und (meinem Stand nach) wenig bis gar nichts zu einer Handlung beitragen.

Das finde ich eigentlich ganz toll

Es liest sich nicht leicht, aber ich finde es manchmal ganz angenehm einfach in eine Welt eintauchen zu können, ohne alles fein säuberlich erklärt zu bekommen. Ich bin aber auch die Art von Person, die Ulysses genießt, also nicht ganz normal.

We actually had to read that for our English course. What still haunts me is how weird random German words look in an English book. Like they're not supposed to be there

VLC (VideoLAN media player): play media files, DVDs, network streams and more. Just works,

Chasm City was amazing. I really need to read House of Suns, don't I.

Revengers was nice too, but very different

Often enough my library will make this decision for me. You can't read what's not available

You can try some of Joe Abercrombies standalones. My first book by him was The Heroes and I enjoyed it, although it does contain references to characters from the trilogy.

I imagine humor books would be a great fit for situations where people come and go, but I haven't read much in that genre. Maybe Pratchett would be possible. Generally, a safe bet are older books that are set in a genre that is naturally SFW. I am thinking of Agatha Christie style detective novels.

If you liked the theme of stories in the Name of the Wind, you might like “the starless sea” by Erin Morgernstern. It is a bit “progressive” in the sense, that it contains a little gay love story but all very much SFW and with a romantic perspective. There is one scene however, I'm not quite sure how it was described that could be considered a sex scene? As far as I remember, sex was rather mentioned and not described or anything. Oh, and a big warning, that the sequel of Name of the wind is NFSW. For more fantasy, I can recommend Narnia or His dark Materials by Philip Pullman, which both are series written to be read by children and adults alike.

If you want to continue with sci-fi, maybe consider “We are Legion”/the Bobiverse by Dennis E. Taylor or the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
