I want to read fiction not real fiction
this is not a bad idea

Maybe try some classical sci-fi. Here's one off the top of my head. It's easy to read but a fun concept.
whats it about

Another book is Mythology by Hamilton. Good way to begin the greeks. Start with the greeks. Yeah, do that. The greeks are where people should start, with the greeks. That's where...they should....they start with the greeks. Forgetty mention, almosty forgetty mention Homer's works like Illiad and Odyesee. Get it translated by Fagles. Don't miss out on Herodotus's The Histories's.
