I started catch-22 a few years back, but dropped it. I need to check it out again.

That is when I was getting into reading for the first time really ever. Was hitting a lot of classics.

Gideon the Ninth is a really fun fantasy/gothic horror with a great comedic tone that I highly recommend.

Also, for anyone interested in crime fiction, I highly recommend Every Dead Thing by John Connelly, really good read and incredibly dark.

About to start Hard to Be a God by by the Strugatskys (who also wrote Roadside Picnic which when on to become Stalker).

Finally got around to reading that last year. It’s easily one of the funniest books I’ve ever read and hasn’t aged a day. It’s honestly pretty shocking just how well the humor in it has aged, highly recommend it if you’re a fan of Monty Python and Mel Brooks.

Gideon The Ninth by Tasmyn Muir (fantasy)

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin (sci-fi/fantasy)

Every Dead Thing by John Connelly (crime fiction)

Broken Monsters by Lauren Burkes (crime fiction)

Borne by Jeff Vandermeer (sci-fi)

Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson (sci-fi/cyberpunk)

The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin (fantasy) (starts with The Fifth Season)

The Long Walk by Stephen King (horror/thriller)

lol look at you losers...reading hahahaha

watch a movie nerds

Appreciate it

Funny thing about The Long Walk was that it was a really big influence on the movie Battle Royale, which would of course inspire The Hunger Games and later PUBG and Fortnite, so, in a way, Stephen King’s influence extends even to that.

solid list

Did anyone read any of Stephen King here? I want to hear opinions on his stuff

pretty mid imo but to each his own.

btw anyone itt f*** with italo calvino? hes GOAT

Love the dark tower series

Yeah seems like its one of his most hyped recent work

I have read alot of people saying hes just an that pop-horror expert who don't usually go too deep on his stories

I have yet to finish Invisible Cities
did you like it?

It's like a fantasy Western he started when he started writing and kept adding to throughout his career, it's a good story and intertwines with some of his other work

IT was a fun read

I'm finishing up Norwegian Wood and I have a biggg opinion on a certain incredibly creepy/not consensual scene in it. If you know what i'm talking about, pls give me your opinions on it
