I have never been one to read on my leisure but am currently craving a good story. Unfortunately I do not have much time to set aside for reading so I don't want a large list to burn through. In the past I have picked up books but have had a hard time finishing them. My belief is that by starting with the "perfect" read for me, it might get me on board the reading train
Here are the things I am looking for in order from most important to least important (but still worth considering)
o Cute romance (preferably non-sexual)
o Significant character growth
o Charming cast (no one overly dramatic, oblivious, or evil)
o Comedy splashed throughout
o Complex antagonist or moral gray zones
o Fine with predictable, but not super cliche
o Prefer a fantasy setting with some action
o I would say my level of literacy is higher than high school but not by a whole lot
As a summary, I am looking for a generally light feel good read that isn't afraid to take me on a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. If I had to choose, I would say I am more concerned with the characters than the actual plot (if that even makes sense). I definitely do enjoy stories that make me stop and think. Lastly, if at all possible, I am more of a guy who enjoys some action in a high fantasy setting.
Again, thanks for your time and help!
