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!
Infinite Jest: basically predicted the future, meticulous and descriptive writing style
The Hobbit: very short and sweet fantasy story. The LOTR series is on here too.
Magician by Raymond Feist: just bc my friend recommended to me and I consoomed all the books and teared up by the end. Average writing, entertaining and creative use of D&D inspired world building imo.
Dune: the only sci-fi book that has held my attention. Starts to get wackier and less-good as the series moves on imo. Or at least, the later novels don't keep me as entertained throughout as the first book does.
The Goldfinch is becoming a contender I'm about a third of the way through it. Incredibly sad and interesting story so far and it's very modern. People with iphone.
