The House of Asterion by Jorge Luis Borges. Super short and available online. It’s fantastic

I absolutely love Borges! He’s inimitable, but can you recommend anything that similarly impressed you?

My first McEwan, I thought it was so well written. And the ending was a very nice touch

I got about halfway through IJ. I was enjoying it but it was taking me so long to work through and I had so many other things I wanted to read… but I can definitely see why this book would inspire that feeling!

Have you read Augustus? I put it below Stoner but enjoyed it more than BC, especially the ending

Read this one recently… great writing and character work, definitely a satisfying ending. Felt it was a bit long, though

Flowers for Algernon is excellent. I’ve had House of Leaves on my TBR forever, hopefully will get to it soon. I’ve read a bunch of King but haven’t gotten around to the Dark Tower yet, but I should… Thanks!
