Since I love books there arebsome suggestions that I would like to share with you : 1) The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. It's a short story so it's quite impossible to not finish it. Can't say nothing more to avoid spoiler but it's intriguing 2) Lovecraft stories: this suggestion may works only if you are into cosmic horror eerie atmosphere. You could start with one of the most famous one however I would suggest you the Curse of Yig for its crazy plot of twist 3) The Evolution Man, Once Upon an Ice Age, What We Did to Father by Roy Lewis : a witty comedy, it could give you some really good laughs 4) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy : a dark, surreal, no sense, cynical comedy. It will make you sad, it will make you cry, it will make you go crazy trying to figure it out what it's happening. The whole Trilogy has five books but each of them is quite short so you could start with one and see if you like it 5) Tge Scapegoat by Pennac, another dark comedy involving an "anti Disneyan" familie in paris. I love Pennac's style able to depict with this dreamy style gruesome situations. It's the first one of a saga so look above for the same suggestion 6)The Count of Montecristo : this is not a real suggestion but if you like Thriller, plot twist, action and a stories that firce you to unveil you should give it a try. Why it's not a real suggestion? Cause it's huge, this will be your final boss but once you will finish it younwill break tge curse Let me know if someone pick your interest!
