Hiya,
My local library summer reading challenge has a few items with which I could use y’all’s help.
Read a book with a musical theme.
Read a book outside your comfort zone (I read mostly novels, and mostly sci-fi).
Read a book by an author from a different cultural background. (I’m a white American and I’ve already read Three Body Problem)
Read a book suggested to you.
I would appreciate any suggestions!

You could read Let’s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste by Carl Wilson. It’s an essay(ish) book about taste in music, funny to read and not too long (~200pg I’d say).
About the comfort zone, you could try and read something about contemporary problems and predicaments. A poison like no other talks about plastics in our everyday life (not fun), or something really old like Seneca’s On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It (~100pg)
Thank you for these, friend.
