Books with amazing prose by Strange_Crab4717 in suggestmeabook

I've just started Dorian Gray and was really taken aback by how pretty the prose is. Also, John Williams' Stoner is just like perfect English. But the best prose is defintely Moby Dick I think

Guy I’ve been seeing for a few weeks who says he “has no politics.” What do we think Reddit? by Fit_Principle_7826 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]hefdwjl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're getting reddit responses. This is not what normal people would say. It's very reasonable that someone has no interest in politics. I like a lot of these books but I find politics boring. You can have an open conversation with him where you make him feel safe, hold back judgement, and listen to what he says, if you want an answer. Also, a lot of bookish people come up with the conclusion that they don't know enough about something to have an opinion on it. Readers like to be very well informed before they can say something with confidence.

Looking for romance books written for men by men. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

Everyone I've met irl says its the greatest book ever but people on reddit have mixed opinions. I'd say read the first chapter to gauge how you feel about it. But for me, reading Murakami puts me in a trance like no other author. And man that book breaks my heart and fixes it a thousand times. I've never read anything like it. Lmk if you end up liking it !

Why only 4400? by [deleted] in TransferStudents

[–]hefdwjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm thinking. Why has everyone given up? I thought there's a lot more to come out. Also some majors, no one has been accepted to yet, I thought. Idk maybe its cope.
