My favourites
American Gods by Neil Gaiman - I have yet to find another book of his that I enjoyed as much as this!!
The White Album by Joan Didion - my first read from Didion and I plan on reading a lot more from her this year. She has a way with words that I can’t really articulate but I do appreciate it so much.
Last Exit To Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr - I ashamed to admit how much I really enjoyed this book lol
Confusion by Stefan Zweig - This novella is about a student who’s obsessed with his hpd professor.. mostly due to the fact that his professor triggers this passion of learning from him.
This was my first zweig read and I plan on reading everything by him. It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a book like this. From start to finish I was hooked. Just simply well written.
This book is so good it made me realize I shouldn’t waste time trying to force read other books I’m not that into lol
- Chess Story by Stefan Zweig - This is about a man who’s driven to madness by the nazis and in the process he happens to become a chess genius.
I really enjoyed this, another Stefan Zweig banger.
The Silent Twins by Majorie Wallace - This is such a tragic yet beautiful story. These women were failed by multiple systems. Truly heartbreaking.
Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig - I can’t stop thinking about this book!! I really enjoyed this and can’t wait to read everything else by Zweig.
