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 like how HoL shits all over academia and I think that's why a lot of people get bothered by it. It's literary analysis and crit done seriously about a thing that doesn't actually exist. There's name dropping and commentary for a fictional piece of footage.
Literary crit has its place, I think the author was likely just sick of it after spending too much time among lit snobs. I feel that way about art sometimes. I'll wonder if Postmodernism was a mistake, especially since Marxism is Modernist.
