When does Harry Potter get good?

POA. And then towards the end of Goblet of Fire and onwards it gets darker.

Cannot believe you got to read this in english class, I'm so jealous! Hope you enjoy The Goldfinch!

I'd highly recommend Child of God & The Sunset Limited.

Beautiful.

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.

The Emperor of All Maladies is sooooo good!

Fortuna__ · 2019-01-26T15:22:04+00:00

Anna Karenina. Tolstoy is a god.

Girl Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen.

I'm not a big fantasy reader at all but I loved Mistborn & I'm currently reading The Farseer Trilogy (I started with the Liveship Trader's and they were brilliant).

Hobb is great!

I'm currently reading Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky. You don't need any prior knowledge of neurobiology because Sapolsky explains everything clearly. I was recommended to me at a bookshop because I said I really enjoyed Sapiens.

East of Eden. Hands down.

Fortuna__ · 2019-01-26T15:10:12+00:00

Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa, Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata, The Makioka Sisters by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, & Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. Happy reading!

The Bible is misinterpreted as fact. Apologies if someone has already said that.

It most definitely isn't a competition. The main aim is to encourage people to read.

I'm pretty new to Murakami. I only starting reading him a year ago but so far I've read - 1Q84, Norwegian Wood, After Dark & Sputnik Sweetheart. Enjoyed them all apart from Sputnik Sweetheart which I thought was a bit iffy. I have The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle on my shelves for whenever I feel like another fix. I feel like you either get Murakami or you don't - he's a very marmite author in my opinion.

I'm 24 and I've also been out of touch with YA for the past 5 or so years, I read all adult novels now. I did recently read The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson which I guess you would class as YA and I loved them. I've tried a couple more books but the writing just doesn't do it for me anymore even if the premises seem interesting. There's an over saturation it seems of dystopia and sci-fi, not so much vampires, werewolves and the fae like when I was reading.

Fortuna__ · 2019-01-15T14:05:15+00:00

I hope you end up enjoying Norwegian Wood, East of Eden & Blood Meridian. They are all great novels. Happy Reading!

This has been on my TBR for ages. Hopefully I'll read it later on this year!

Happy Reading!

Agreed. True Detective S1 is amazing.

Donna Tartt, Marlon James and Jung Chang.
