MODERATORS
If you've ever wanted to fuck off into the woods The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel is great (non fiction)
If you want to read something weird and whimsical try Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (fantasy)
If you enjoyed the video game Mass Effect try Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds (book is number 1 of 4 in the series with more in universe novels) (scifi)
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole is the funniest book I've ever read (lit fiction)
For the linguists out there read Embassytown by China Mieville (scifi)
Everyone should read as much Ursula K Le Guin as possible, I'm particularly fond of The Dispossessed (scifi)
If you want something cozy and heartwarming A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers is wonderful (scifi)
Thanks I will check these out. In particular this is like the 10th time I've thought that I should read the dispossessed. Love Ursula Leguin.
Thank you for the recommendations.....and made in a great way.
