I'm a big nerd and I've read a lot of books of all different kinds, and I'm an English teacher.
Tell me what you like or what you're looking for and I'll recommend something I think is good
Also, fun history fact, this comm used to be called c/books until I started posting poetry on main every day in protest of there not being a literature comm. Direct action gets the goods comrades
I've been a big fan of Steinbeck since reading Of Mice and Men in school, I chomped up Grapes of Wrath and it was rad, hugest book I've ever read but gripping. Any recommendations along the same writing/meta themes? I'm not really fussed about the Great Depression, but that gripping exploration of characters and their interaction with societal expectations really does it for me. Alternatively I'll take some post-apocalypse suggestions.
Cormac McCarthy is a really good go-to for post apocalyptic novels.
Turns out he just recently passed away. RIP to a hell of an author.
He passed away right after putting out a double novel. What a king
