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!
i read Blood Meridian last year and have found it to be unforgettable. might be my favourite book.
Got halfway through years ago before life happened, will have to give it another go! Thanks!
I just finished it the other night and it somehow manage to exceed my already high expectations. It might have been the most violent piece of media I've consumed thus far, but I'm not sure. I grew up on black and white westerns where everything plays out nicely and the good guys never die. There are very few characters in BM I would even call good...
what i found striking about it was how human of a story it manages to be despite it all.
I agree. Some people take the message to be "People suck. Man sucks and is evil. The judge is just man incarnate so he sucks and is evil and thinks he owns the world." I think it cuts deeper than that in a way I might have to read the book again to say eloquently.
