Reply to comment by [deleted] in What factors do you consider before starting a new book or series? Is there an "x" factor that decides what your next read will be? by jebodiah93

I have never seen the term "travelogues" and did not realize genres got so specific. Cool to look into.

I do know what you are saying about getting a craving for one style. I do not think I have enough fiction under my belt to really understand what I am looking for all the time.

For example, early on I was asking about books similar to "Children of Time" and I got tons of sci-fi set in space. But I don't really care about far future or space as a setting, it was the feeling of seeing the growth of characters and cultures throughout generations.

if you like sci fi try something by Asimov.
If it doesn't work then try the expanse. they are lighter and more current. then there is a lot of action.
Every person is different and thinks differently, you will find your habits ;)
