i need to start reading again so badly…
im usually on tiktok but all the books that get recommended there are just… too surface level and unoriginal. genuinely almost like copy-pastes of each other… i want something deeper that will provoke me to think and then leave me broken for months to come after i realize the message. i want a book that will change my way of thinking, that will keep me up at night as i question myself. i want the writing to be amazing; immersive, terrifying, soul touching…
this is going to be a challenge because i ask that people dont recommend me the classics. think kafka, dostoyevski, gogol, orwell… as i have read most of those and would like something new. preferably something from this century?
the book itself can be any genre. fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, dark academia… you name it, ill read it. just please, and i mean please, no romance unless its really well done and important to the story. and no explicit s*x scenes like in the booktok "spice" novels.
thank you for taking the time to read this post, and thank you even more if you decide to write me some recommendations!
