Autobiography, biography, cookbooks, gardening and adventure books are my usual go to. I do not like fiction based on history, I guess it is Historical Fiction (ie James Mitchner)
Current read - a lengthy bio on Napoleon but with a different slant to it. Napoleon a life in gardens and shadows by Ruth Scurr.
Although I prefer the old fashioned paper book in my hands, I have recently started downloading ebooks. I did not like Kindle because it was only black and white so bought a $69 Samsun Tab A 8.7. Love it. Made me want to read more. Reading about 3 books a month.
Library Genesis is still up but since July does not seem to be updating or adding. It was especially good for magazine’s & periodicals
Another free website that was in the news because being shut down last year is back up With millions of books to read or download.
Many libraries have a ebook service if you have a library card.
support you local library - they need your donation.

The thing is digital is not just necessarily the way of the future but is also environmentally smart.. saves trees

A Scarecrow's Bible by Martin Hyatt is pretty good. I read it three times and used it when writing a college paper.

Amazon or a local bookstore. If I'm paying for a book, I'm getting a hard (i.e., paper) copy. I don't much care for digital books.
I've always read Gay or LGBT+ authors themselves, whether they have direct gay themed books or not ( and many of them do), as it gives a below the surface glimpse into their minds and lives often.
I like those gay themed stories where guy meets another guy sometimes one is straight or doesn’t know he is gay until meets certain guy and the guy shows him and so on .. stories about guys30 and younger .. I’ll post what Iike and read give ideas what I like and look for.. I have a bunch I found on few sites
I've just finished a wonderful book that really moved me. It's called "Indivisible" by Daniel Aleman. The main character is a US born Mexican teenager dealing with prep for the SATs, and his part time job, and discovering his sexuality. He comes home one day to find his parents have been seized by Immigration, He then must deal with taking care of himself and his little sister while maintaining a front that everything is okay.
I'm about to start "The Carnivorous Lamb" by Agustin Gomez-Arcos. It's considered a gay classic from Spain about a teen in a dysfunctional family who finds the only person who cares for him is his brother.
