Challenge: Not Feeling Well

Prompt: What I read when I'm not feeling well

Comfort reads! The short, easy answer is that I tend to go back and re-read books that I enjoyed previously. (Or, alternatively, play video games that fall into the same general category.) 

That includes some stand-alones: 

  • Martha Wells, Wheel of the Infinite
  • Martha Wells, City of Bones
  • Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light
  • Jennifer Crusie, Welcome to Temptation
  • Jennifer Crusie, Faking It
  • Jennifer Crusie, Bet Me

It also includes some series: 

  • Roger Zelazny, Chronicles of Amber
  • Barbara Hambly, the Darwath Cycle
  • Robert E Howard, various Conan short stories
  • Martha Wells, The Books of the Raksura

And, as I mentioned, a couple of video games that occupy a similarly comfortable/comforting niche for me: 

  • Infamous and Infamous 2
  • Infamous Second Son
  • Soul Reaver (and various associated)
  • Star Wars: Battlefront (the PS2 version, not the newer one)

There are a few others that I might jump back to if I were feeling poorly and the mood took me, but these are my go-to list.
