Suggest me a book that you wish you could forget and read over all over again
Like the title says – a book that was so goos and/or had a great twist and you wish you could forget the entire book so you can be shook all over again.
For me it was Prisoner of Azkaban and Ender’s Game.
For me it would be the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. I know some people love re-reading them, but that doesn’t work for me at least so far. Maybe it will be in the future. I remember vividly how much I enjoyed each one. I would love to be able to read them for the first time all over again.

The Pisces by Melissa Broder. It’s not for everyone, but if you like an unhinged narrator and have a high tolerance for weird, reading it is like watching a slow motion car crash.

“A Naked Singularity” (2008) by Sergio De La Pava. Honestly, there is so much, I think I have already forgotten well enough. This book will serve your desire to experience a steady buzz of nonstop layering and progress that is unpredictable and frequently hilarious despite being tense as hell as well teaching an obscure history lesson.

I wish I could forget Albert Camus the plague.
I had done some research before the book and I came into the book with an already presupposition about Nazi Fascism and the plague actually being Fascism and invading the territory that Albert Camus lived in.
We all know that Albert Camus was a big part of the revolution that happened when the Nazis invaded France and he was part of a underground newsletter, so going into the book we know that he is a staunch opposition to Fascism.
That being said the plague also is about living your life in a never ending loop that we continue to do things every day that although we change a little portion it continues to be the same repetitive movements and that history repeats itself on a constant loop.
So if I could go back and not deal with the struggle of trying to put together the puzzle pieces of fascism and the plague and life and death I believe I would’ve enjoyed the book a lot more but unfortunately I already came into the book with a presupposition of what Camus was trying to portray in the plague.
I certainly came out of the book a lot better than before I started but the whole trying to put pieces back-and-forth and trying to figure out where the underlying message was and what he was actually doing in his literature made me sidetrack a whole lot so if I could pick out a book that I could Wipe clear 🧽 with a blank slate I think Albert Camus the plague would be the book for me
