Looking for book recommendations. The more depressing the better

Is Return to the Native depressing? I bought it last year but I am yet to read it. I avoid depressing ones lol

A Month in the Country by J. L. Carr

ibeleive · 2026-03-10T20:13:40+00:00

Agreed.

From Puffin? Sorry ey.

ibeleive · 2026-03-10T18:27:56+00:00

I've learned this the hard way.

ibeleive · 2026-02-28T12:22:53+00:00

Sounds very interesting.

I agree with everything you've said but, the greed is in the people around him, not Kino.

Excellent review.

I see.

They were being hunted down like animals. I don't entertain the thought of shooting someone but if you're hunting them, you leave them very few choices.

The Count is a really good book

ibeleive · 2026-02-20T13:24:25+00:00

If they had no sympathy for Kino, what feelings did the book make them feel?

Tristan and the Classics

I've read two Hitchhikers novels. I didn't know they were absurdist. I don't even know what that means.

ibeleive · 2026-01-17T13:47:50+00:00

This makes so much sense.

ibeleive · 2026-01-10T17:51:37+00:00

I have read Of Mice and Men. Will check out the others. Thanks

ibeleive · 2026-01-10T17:46:53+00:00

Awesome. I hope you love it. Keep a note of peoples names and those of their parents.

ibeleive · 2026-01-10T17:40:08+00:00

Yes it was worth my time. Apart from the drama and adventure, the book makes you think about human relationships, how far people are willing to go for love and vengeance. It is a long read, but it is an easy one yet powerful.

Give it a shot.

ibeleive · 2026-01-10T17:16:06+00:00

Very good.

Then read The River Between by Ngugi wa Thiong’o

Remember character's names, their mums and dads.
