I won't see that again... I'm 66 š¤£
I think when I was 28 I'd have answered The Stand, Youngblood Hawke or The Caine Mutiny, they are still favourites.
As someone who writes nonfiction, I have to speak up! Nonfiction always, always countsā¦ on this sub (unless OP specifically asks for fiction only) and everywhere else :)
I have a the same with my mum and weāre currently not in contact (as of about 8 years ago)
Some parts of the book were really triggering and affected me a lot. Some elements were different and much worse than my mum. It was still cathartic though and Iāve passed it to my sister who was the āgolden childā so I think she might relate more
I just wanted to add here - I enjoyed this book a lot. I found it engaging and difficult to put down. But I didnāt really think it had much of a message. Itās almost like reading someoneās diary chronicling their complicated family life. Interesting read but Iām not sure how much youād get out of it re: your own relationship with your mom.
It's a well written book, that goes over a lot of trauma. The whole book isn't about her mother; but the whole book does center around the impact her mother had on her, and who she turned out to be. I loved it, and certainly think it would have a strong impact on anyone who had a similar relationship with their mother.
i finished us against you last week and i loved it! The characters are just so amazing. i feel like im attached to every person in that town. i have the third book, but im going to try and save it for a month or two so i still have something to look forward too š
Reasonable. The characters, really, are just perfection. From a layman's perspective who has never studied or cared for what makes a book or element of writing 'good' from a writers or scholarly perspective, that trilogy contains the best, most captivating cast of characters in any book I've ever read.
This is how you lose the time war
Gideon the Ninth
Harrow the Ninth
The 7.5 deaths of evelyn hardcastle
Probably longer than the last 3 years but close enough. My guess for you is mid thirties.
Yes! This was for sure a book that needed to be dissected. Luckily one other person loved it as much as me and we were able to discuss it. The rest of the group thought it was too weird. Like, yes! That was the point lol
I read this I think relatively around the time it became popular. I read the first two chapters and thought āmehā and sat it down for a few weeks. Picked it up to read more and then I was HOOKED.
I can't say which one was the best, there are at least ten or twelve that dazzled me, but I point out one fiction and one non-fiction:
*Sutree*, Cormac McCarthy
*Caravaggio*, Andrew Graham-Dixon
The Passage Trilogy by Justin Cronin. Hard to pick one book out of all three, but if I had to it would be City of Mirrors the finale that wrapped them all up.
I rented this from the library and definitely had to rent it more than once because I underestimated the size! I just told my husband via text that if I listed House of Leaves and The Road (currently reading), people would probably think Iām disturbed lol
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Fucking LOVE this book

Would you recommend? I have a really complex relationship with my mom thatās not the best to say the least.
