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

      You know, people give Herbert a lot of flack for his writing style, but upon rereading Dune I really grew to appreciate the prose. Every word feels very deliberately chosen, and I like how much attention is given to what characters are thinking about each other and manage perception of themselves (especially Paul).

          Yeah, and it's especially critical in a story that involves a lot of manipulation and "plans within plans within plans".

      I enjoyed it, but I like the Movie's changes to it a lot more because of certain... things... haha
