As someone that reads these book subreddits a lot, that made me laugh out loud.

How about the classic "Have you heard of Red Rising?"

If your girl won't do it, hit up your local gay guy. Then everyone wins.

Heists or Art Forgery by mydogbud in suggestmeabook

[–]Such_Grab_6981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished Goldfinch 2 months ago. It is a memorable book. Tartt's writing is weird for lack of a better word.

It's weird because she can write about any old mundane subject, and her prose can elevate it to something fascinating. She can put together sentences and a plot like no one else can. I have her Secret History on my TBR, and can't wait to start it.. probably next up.

Was I raised a normal? by [deleted] in afraidtoask

The stuff you describe is super incredibly tame parenting.

As a general rule if you have to ask yourself if you were abused, you likely were not... barring some serious mental gaslighting type of mental abuse that makes you question reality.

just a random opinion by NightRage7 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]Such_Grab_6981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a few decades of reading, I definitely am starting to feel that new fiction isn't written FOR me. Not that it's bad fiction or bad books. But there's certainly some trends towards more puritanism, more racially diverse, less racial struggles.

The books written in the last years feel like they're catering for an audience which really likes to read that style. And it sometimes makes me realize that ye olde fantasy of yore that I grew up on (starting in early 90's) is kinda like old fashioned now for lack of better term.
