I've mostly watched anime for the past two years and got a craving for a book.
I'm mostly watching comedy and battle shounen, but I'm also enjoying Orb: On the Movements of the Earth this season. The last series I've been reading is Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive (don't worry, I know about Mistborn, I'll get into it during holidays).
Horror bores me, and I dislike romance in general. I can tolerate it as a side plot, but will cringe anyway. And if I see a love triangle or the MC going on and on about the butterflies in their stomach...
It would be nice to see a hard system world mid or post-industrial revolution, but it's not a must. I also prefer a more masculine PoV, because I'm more used to it.
I'm currently thinking about getting The Powder Mage trilogy or Discworld, but I've been out of the loop for so long (if you consider regular visits at the library as being in the loop) that I want to see if I'm missing something more up my alley.
Originally I wanted to get Dungeon Crawler Carl, but it's not translated, so I'll wait. I've tried reading a book in English, forgot the title, but I had to drop it because it was too mentally demanding for me.
The Last Horizon sounds really interesting (unfortunately, this one isn't translated, too)
The Aeronaut's Windlass and Temeraire - not so much, but I'll definitely add them to my "to read" list
