The spy and the traitor was excellent! True story. It’s read very well and it’s fairly long.
The Stand by Stephen King is great. It’s super long.
The Harry Potter series is the best thing I’ve ever listened to.
Hope this helps

At least the United States wasn't finding gay people, taking pictures of them having sex, and then using those pictures as blackmail material to force them to join the CIA
like how the Soviets did

Some recommendations:
​
- The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre: I found it to be a page-turner! Talks about a Russian KGB officer who spied for and ultimately defected to the West. Interesting to see how much can some people bet to stay true to their beliefs
- A redhead by the side of the road by Anne Tyler: Second chances and the importance of re-thinking one's own beliefs
- Alone at the top by Lonnie Dupre: I love ALL THINGS mountaineering! You can almost climb Mt. Denali (in winter!) alone with the author in this book
