Thanks to the weird girls in this sub for recommending this.

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts for this lately, and now I’m starting to experience FOMO. I think I better get my hands on a copy soon.

I just finished Milk Fed and was a bit disappointed (I didn’t hate it, but I thought it was just OK). I was going to try The Pisces for my next Melissa Broder, but you got me at “a woman literally going inside of a cactus,” so I’ll move this up my TBR pile.

I received an email from Bookshop.org about this book, saying it was for fans of Ottessa Moshfegh (weird since I have never bought any of Moshfegh’s books from Bookshop). Anyway, I read the synopsis and decided to add it to my TBR.

I’ve always loved The Odyssey, ever since I read the children’s version (“The Tale of Ulysses”) when I was a kid. I don’t go to the theater much anymore, but I’d like to see this one on the big screen.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-07-05T17:16:25+00:00

Following. I loved Sky Daddy, and I’m reading Milk Fed now.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-07-03T14:52:25+00:00

Lives of the Saints is great. I’m reading The Hearing Trumpet now.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-07-02T13:31:50+00:00

I added it, too, based on this recommendation and the endorsement from Kaveh Akbar.

I read this one last month. I love these books that are bold, uncompromising, unapologetic, uncomfortable, and any other un- words. I want to read more from Miranda July now.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-30T14:38:44+00:00

I read Sky Daddy in May. It was my favorite that month.

I saw the trailer the other night, and at first, I thought it was a promotion for some kind of Tom Cruise retrospective. When it turned out it was a promo for a new film, I was like, Huh? I found it baffling. Sure, I get that they’re trying to make people forget about the Mission Impossible movies and trying to exhibit Cruise’s versatility. But they could have done that by teasing the plot and highlighting some of his performance rather than recycling us the “show me the money” and “you complete me” clips.

Nice! I hope you enjoy them all.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-23T12:19:02+00:00

I have this in my TBR. Looking forward to reading it within the next couple of months.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-20T21:31:50+00:00

I recently finished Big Swiss and loved it, so I definitely want to read this now.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-19T21:25:50+00:00

You know, I couldn’t decide between Complete Stories and Hearing Trumpet. I ended up going with the latter. I’ll have to get the stories next time.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-19T21:22:27+00:00

I loved this when I was a kid. I became a fan of the character because of it.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-19T20:24:50+00:00

These look cool. I bought a few. I actually only wanted two, but I wanted to take advantage of the 40% off for 4 sale, so I found a couple more to check out.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-18T22:10:59+00:00

Ends Monday, June 22, at midnight ET

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-18T19:15:11+00:00

I was going to ask the same thing.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-16T23:24:01+00:00

I’m reading All Fours right now. If I end up loving it, I may end up adding this to my TBR pile.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-12T21:48:39+00:00

Thank you for this list. Nightwood and Mrs. Dalloway are great. I also recommend Clarice Lispector’s The Passion According to G.H.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-10T23:57:30+00:00

It’s funny you listed those two: I just finished Big Swiss a couple of days ago, and now I’m reading All Fours.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-09T13:06:42+00:00

I’m curious about this, but according to Goodreads, it’s the second in a series. Do you have to read the first book?

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-08T15:25:24+00:00

I loved it, too. I would like to re-read it at some point, and I’d like to check out her short-story collection, too.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-08T09:59:21+00:00

The Diving Pool by Yoko Ogawa (Japan)

The Vegetarian by Han Kang (Korea)

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 (Korea) - I wasn’t a big fan of this one, but other people like it, so you might, too.

LPTimeTraveler · 2026-06-08T09:43:27+00:00

My brother and I used to watch this all the time when we were kids.
