Any suggestions on real books for someone who's been into manga more?

Big fan of Berserk, Vagabond, Blue Lock, Demon Slayer, and Yowamushi Pedal.

Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running was a recent memoir I enjoyed reading, but not sure if that's the style I want to continue

pick up Musashi. haven’t read it myself, but it’s essentially the source material for Vagabond and i’ve heard nothing but great things about it

25% through Misery, very good

Gotta crack open Sanderson's Way of Kings, bought it last year and never even read a page

it's a big one! I read that a few years back. definitely worth the time but I don't know if it was the best Sanderson book to start with.

just finished Schoolgirl, incredibly beautiful and potent

Been reading N.K Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy. About to start The Stone Sky. Been pretty good. I get heavy Evangelion vibes from the series, especially in the second book. Eager to see how the author wraps this up.

Journey before destination.

Just finished Murakmai’s After Dark

When i get on to my next Murakami, what would you suggest i go for?

Ive also read Norwegian Wood and Kafka by the Shore from him. Out of the three i think Kafka was my least favourite

a wind up bird chronicle!

I just found out Ottessa moshfegh has a substack lmfao she actually gives it up on there from the little I saw, she just put out an interview with Asa akira and a three part interview with her high school boyfriend I just wish the full s*** wasn’t paywalled

wait what??

Fine I’ll read her work

Why is this section set up so weird man like bubbles

it's so strange

Just started Love in the Time of Cholera and this is so good already

Finally reading Dune and i love it.

All the deep political, religious, and existential concepts in a cool sci-fi form just turns me on (⏸️)

Getting ahead of myself but does anyone know if Hyperion (Dan Simmons) is similar or have similar suggestions?

I only watched Dune but I think Hyperion share sum very similar elements (in a different flavour tho) that you could appreciate. Reading it rn and I'm hooked.

@ghosting this our new msct from here on out

Ok . But will you read old man and the sea

Hyperion is super dope, very very good book and very enjoyable /satifsfying read as a stand-alone but the 4 books are supposedly really good as a set

bro r u stalking me??
