I'm interested in fantasy (or science fiction) dealing with alternative history. Something along the lines of "what if the Roman empire survived for longer than it did" or "some major event unfolded differently, like the Muslims overran Constantinople and France in the 700s". I've read The Years of Rice and Salt which was pretty ok, but I didn't like the century hopping that much. I'm more interested in some kind of adventure written in a style similar to Robert E. Howard or George R.R. Martin set into a medieval world. Or future/science fiction, as long as alternative history plays an interesting role.

I'm interested about something in which the character develops as a person. I feel I'm in period of personal growth in my life myself and this kind of reading interests me. Overcoming one's flaws, becoming better, that kind of stuff. Something inspirational and not depressive. Japanese literature has also started to interest me lately, so if these two birds could be killed with one stone it'd be awesome.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Shogun was my first thought also but it's probably not the sort of uplifting narrative he's looking for. Unless Shogun is downright depressing and about hopelessness I can read it. I've read a lot of fantasy in my life. Some real life fiction interests me now.
