All books suck (including those published prior to my birth)
>>24947316What year would that be, 2009?
>>249473211959
>>24947281The Crying of Lot 49, it starts a little slow but overall a very enjoyable read.
I wouldn't say it's the best book I've read this year, but I'll take the opportunity to recommend the preface in pic related
>>24947281Gravity's Rainbow. Fucking 11/10, my new all-time favourite.
People just don't write this way anymore. God damn.
fictionalized story of wittgenstein, russel, and some other cambridge nerds. you don't need any philosophy knowledge or anything. pretty comfy, very well written characters conflicting with each other.
>>24947370I picked this up in a bookstore like 5 years ago and thought maybe some other time and completely forgot the title, author, and premise, and I've since tried to remember it and I couldn't. Cheers, anon.
I kinda forgot what I read this year.Will never forget this one though. Incredible how he managed to turn a book in which he says kike or nigger in most sentences into a work of art.
the alexandria quartet by laurence durrell
>>24947281You've all read the best book to be released in 2025 haven't you?
Read through Animal Farm. Short and sweet, but I really enjoyed it. Beats you over the head with its moral, but, through a purely technical lens, I really enjoyed seeing Orwell epitomize what a novel should be. Also read Dune and I felt similarly about it. It was the first book I read after getting through nearly all of Moorcock's Elric, though, so maybe I was just relieved to break the monotony.
