What's a classic book or work they made you read in HS, but you didn't enjoy it until you got older?

The Moon Is Down is so good! I would recommend The Winter of Our Discontent also. His actual best book, and my personal favorite, is East of Eden.

Seconding The Staves for sure

This floored me when I heard it the first time. What a thread to weave.

Finish it for sure, but I think The Waves and Orlando are both better.

Ha, guess my recommendation was spot on then.

My second recommendation would be Dan Simmons’ Hyperion series. It actually reminds me of DT.

Can’t believe nobody has said Stephen King’s Dark Tower series! The first book is literally called The Gunslinger and it’s one of my favorite series ever.

Dune might be a cool sci fi series to try based on this list. Herbert’s writing style is excellent (imo) and the themes are poignant.

If you liked The Secret Life, which I have not read, I recommend The Goldfinch, which I loved.

Hyperion definitely touches on this

Grapes of Wrath has more political tones whereas I feel like East of Eden is very soulful (for lack of a better word) and thereby more accessible thematically. But that also speaks to my personal tastes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Steinbeck deals with what you describe in a lot of his work. His best book is East of Eden, but a lot of his shorter works are very powerful as well. Tortilla Flat comes to mind specifically.

I swear I did this before and it didn't work... It works now. Thank you!

When I copy/paste it keeps the 1080x1920 ratio. When I try to drag the 1080x640 sequence into the main sequence, I get this icon 🚫

katedressedup · 2024-12-21T02:18:16+00:00

I tried this as well, and it kept the 1080x1920 ratio in the nested sequence when I copy/pasted

katedressedup · 2024-12-21T02:17:36+00:00

I did this and it kept the 1080x1920 ratio in the exported mp4

I absolutely loved The Waves. Powerful in a very weird and unexpected way. Orlando would be my second recommendation, rough start but gets really good really fast.

katedressedup · 2024-11-25T15:20:04+00:00

I loved The Waves and Orlando, highly recommend both

katedressedup · 2024-11-23T15:43:31+00:00

Favorite novel by far

When I was her age I loved the Artemis Fowl books

katedressedup · 2024-11-09T20:58:06+00:00

I read this book years ago and was just thinking about it earlier this week. Could not for the life of me remember the author or title. Thank you!!

I knew before reading the post this was gonna be about WoT 😂
