Like the title! I've been getting back into reading for pleasure, and want to know what you like! I recently read Piranesi and loved it. I've heard good things about The Poppy War and Babel by R.F. Kuang, has anyone read them?

Generally just want a bunch of recommendations from your favorites, on our commie corner of the internet. No genre needed! toriel-snooze

    I've been rereading @KurtVonnegut's works. Personal favorite is God Bless You, Mr.Rosewater. Great thing about Vonnegut is that you can just pour through 'em.

    Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson is a must.

    Also The Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs.

      Thank you, I'm honored.

      If you like easy reads, try my classics Sirens of Titan, Cat's Cradle, and Galapagos. Breakfast of Champions is also fun, and it's where my profile pic comes from. If you want to get REALLY weird, try Slapstick, Jailbird, or my short story collection Welcome to the Money House.

      So it goes.

        Cat's Cradle is one of my favorite books.. I've read it multiple times which is rare for me
