anyone recommend a not too difficult book for someone with mild brain damage? The doctors told me reading might quicken improvement of some of my symptoms. Something with meaning behind it would be good, like a novel that's not just telling a story for the sake of telling a story (ala Game of Thrones). Simple prose, not too many words I won't understand.
Right now I'm not even able to recite asentence someone's just said to me so it's probably going to be frustrating as fuck regardless.

unironically? read genre fiction, fuck the bullshit pleb shit and read what you can to get back in the swing of things. don't turn your nose up at shit, you can't afford to.
read douglas adams or asimov or vonnegut, depending on what you can tolerate.

yes I unironically have diagnosed brain damage. I'm worried being intelligent before this masks a lot of the symptoms, but doctor still thinks it's only mild from the brain scan.
I'll read your ones if anon's memeing me with Book of the New Sun

Start with the greeks
Unironically Hemingway. His prose is simple, but there is plenty going on intellectually.
His collection In Our Time or The Sun Also Rises in particular.
Unironically read Animorphs.
It comes across as being written for children and then you start noticing all the body horror, commentary on the tragedies of war, cosmic chess with children as pawns, and unbelievably shitty situations the main characters find themselves in, and you realize that K.A. Applegate is one balls-to-the-wall crazy woman
