[Weeping Garbage Can]

The Giver by Lois Lowry is a short but sweet book imo

 

[Lil_Intro_Vert]

Redwall series was my childhood, slightly formulaic but each book had a unique set of characters, friendships, puzzles, battles, and glorious feasts. A world i could truly get lost in
Dune is a sci fi must, a bit slow at the beginning but it starts to pick up soon and really draws you in, fantastic worlbuilding and storytelling

 

[VoloFataliDoce]

Mortality - by Christopher Hitchens was a great book for me. It was published after he died and had a collection of his writings and notes about his illness. He had esophageal cancer, the same cancer my grandmother had, and it provided a great solace to me while she was battling her illness.

 

[Mark Edward]

Any of the novels by George Orwell.
I have read all of them many times over.

 

[Random]

No one writes back by Jang Eun - Jin
Last evenings on earth by Roberto Bolano

 

[waived]

Generally what I'm browsing through,

Against Leviathan by Fredy Perlman and A People's History Of The World by Chris Harman are two I revisited in good humor after a user made a dubious comment expressing their desire for a return to Athenian democracy of all things.

Capitalism and Schizophrenia I, II by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and to our friends by le comité invisible due to the recent Gilets Jaunes activity.

"The Aleph" by Jorge Luis Borges

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams

"The Trial" by Franz Kafka

"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson

"Poems" by Emily Dickinson

Some papers and discussion notes on biopower that are a bit different from foucault's general body of work.

 

[AhG]

Cliche, but "To Kill A Mockingbird" and then "Lord of The Flies". They are my favorites growing up.

Rings

[AnnihilatedAnna]

Im really into forensic thrillers. Especially the ones written by karin slaughter. Ive read the whole Will Trent series twice now, i would recommend them if you like things being explained quite graphically sometimes

The last time we say goodbye by cynthia hand was great. Really touched me.

 

[ShadowOfTheDay]

Nausea--Sartre
The Winter of Our Discontent--Steinbeck
White Noise--DeLillo

 

[Saroshi]

I started to read a book titled They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera.

It reminded me of my interaction of this forum, but also was the antithesis of it. It is an interesting read, and I would suggest reading it. I would call it a coming-of-age story but I don't know book labels too well .

The works of Michel Houllebecq always appealed to me.
