Thank you so much for such a dedicated answer. I am saving your recommendations. Actually, I had to read some parts of The Iliad during high school, and it's a reading I remember with joy. I have been thinking of reading the full thing, but I am scared of getting lazy or overwhelmed and spoiling the book. Same thing happens with Don Quixote. That's why I am trying to build a habit with small steps.

What I don't like of what I have read, is probably the complexity of the texts. Possibly more academic than narrative. My fault for the poor choices. I didn't feel engaged and that made me think that I don't like reading, but I wasn't convinced so I asked AI for easy books about geopolitics. And, although they are not the lightest reading, I enjoyed. So here I go again, trying to get myself into the loop of reading.

    Hello everyone, I hope you are doing fine.

    I am posting here hoping to get some ideas of what to read. Let me be more specific:

    I don't read much, perhaps one book per year. That is something I am trying to change.

    I remember reading 1984 in the past and finishing it in few hours, it got me hooked. I have Fahrenheit 451 also in my list.

    During this summer, I have read a couple of books about geopolitics (around 300 pages), because it is a topic that interests me. But many times I read late at night, and the content takes some effort to actually follow and understand.

    So, my intention is to find something lighter in complexity, more fantastic. Perhaps war novel. I am also interested in chess, programming, nature, photography or history.

    Any suggestion is welcome, thanks for your time!

     

    Hello everyone, hope you are doing great.

    I am not sure if my question goes here, but this was my best guess. Apologies if I am wrong.

    So, I have been using the mesh network offered by NordVPN alongside with their VPN subscription to sync some folders between my phone (Android) and my laptop (Linux Mint). This was great because I remember not being able to use Tailscale and VPN at the same time in the past, at least not on my phone.

    Now they are dropping Meshnet support in December, so I am trying to figure out if there's any way I can still run NordVPN and a Meshnet, or if I have to discard one.

    If you know of any alternative, please let me know!
