With boredom comes dedication and commitment. I recommend The Count of Monte Cristo. Long but very captivating.
...
One of my top 5s for sure - maybe even #1. But it’s a long read not suitable for first time/new readers (not saying OP is or isn’t - just don’t know anything about them, and I wouldn’t recommend the count to, say, my teenage daughter who doesn’t read much).
But ya - if you’re up for it OP, this is a masterpiece of a book.
