Thanks for the list. I enjoy the late Portuguese writer Jose Saramago. He often creates an impossivle scenario and let the human behaviour take over from there. In "Death With Interruptions", people suddenly stop dying but only in a specific country. It's crazy, it's gruesome but with a good dose of humor and sweetness - my favourite. "Blindness" is another masterpiece, but this one is pure darkness.
Thanks for reading my friend! Wow this sounds really interesting I love the concept I will have to get a copy and check it out. I love a bit of darkness! Hope you have a good weekend.
For clarification - Andrew McCarthy played Clay and RDJ played Julien (a part that landed way too close to home for him at the time) - a B movie for sure, but looking back on RDJ's performance is quite something.
I don't have a top ten list, but recently I have had a short story on my mind, "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, where "everyone was finally equal." An interesting view within today's cultural discussions.
Oh thank you for correcting me! I haven’t seen the movie in sooooo long i remember finding it on YouTube years and years ago and thinking how b grade it was and how young RDJ looked!
I’ve seen that name before will have to check these out! I just googled him and he seems like an interesting writer. Thank you for the recs and for reading 📖 have a great weekend!
Happy 30th! Thank you for sharing your Top 10 Books List! It always fascinating to see what others are into.
Recently, I started the Dark Tower series and The Wastelands is currently my favorite of the series (that I have finished). The Dog Stars by Peter Heller and The Bees by Laline Paull are two works of fiction that I think about often, and that I will definitely read several more times in the future. Those three books have places in my Top 10 for sure.
Thank you for reading lovely and for the kind birthday wishes. I also love knowing what people are reading or what their top picks are so thanks for sharing! 📚👍🏻🙋🏻♀️
Happy birthday Lucy! I can assure you that in my first year of my 30s (I’m now 31), I rediscovered so many passions and hobbies, make the best of it! I am so looking forward to checking out a few of these books.
Lately I’ve been reading through sellout by Dan Ozzi for the third time, highly recommended it to any fan of music. I have honestly been cheating lately and listening to books on Audible. So great when I’m at the office or on a photo walk, just finished my listen of Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. Had me crying all the way through it. Almost every book I read comes back to music, so so many more. Here’s to 30!!
Happy 30th birthday I hope you had a great day. I read a lot of crime thrillers, my favourite author is Michael Connelly. My wife Alison Morton is also a published author of Alternative History novels. Don’t laugh but I also published my own book earlier this year ‘file of facts’ about Filofax organisers!!!
