Basically I've haven't read most of the books that were considered "classics" while I was growing up, even though I saw some of them in junior high. My next read is probably Catch 22 then Catcher in the Rye.

I want to read more books going into 2020. Anyone have any recommendations?

I like thrillers, mysteries, horrors, sci fi, fantasy, adventures and self help/ motivationals

Is there any reason this isn't pinned anymore?

Why’d this get unstickied lol

Richard Price' Clockers is amazing.

More of a crime thriller.

Haven't unpinned it so idk tbh. I'll put it back.

Just read in help sxn that there's too many pinned threads so I'll be unpinning this again. You can use the search function to find the thread if you need it @Nightmares @yuuurp

Finished American Psycho the other day, gonna take a break from BEE and read Blood Meridian then I’ll go back and read Glamorama

Rip Elizabeth Wurtzel

Currently reading Toni Morrison’s A Mercy, a short novel for fun

Madness, Rack, and Honey by Mary Ruefle, an essay collection on poetry I’m not in any rush to finish. Was a birthday gift, so that’s nice. Haven’t read any of her poetry

& Honoring the Ancestors by Donald Matthews, an academic study into the African roots within African American religion & expression

Did you like American Psycho?

I loved it. It’s a glorious attack on how identity and material have become synthesized.

This is no longer stickied/pinned in Life for some reason

Had this for a long time, just getting around to trying to read it this year.
Book to help with self improvement

We back
