My kids really enjoyed The Hungry Caterpillar and Puppy Peek-a-Boo. That was when they were too young to have preferences or choose their own books.

Adults at a loss for something to read might choose to read the classics. They’re called classics for a reason.

Here are two recommendations off of the beaten HN path. I've recently enjoyed Lenin's Embalmers and The Abraham Dilemma.

Lenin's Embalmers is an autobiography of the son of a lead scientist on the Soviet team that preserved Lenin's body.

The Abraham Dilemma focuses on getting clearer on what is meant by religious delusion that is more than just a reduction to neuroscience.

I write up a list of the best books I've read each year to offer recommendations. Here's from last year: https://bcmullins.github.io/Top-Books-2019/.
