Peridido Street station. It’d be way too weird for my friends and family, but it’s one of my favorites

A Naked Singularity by Sergio de la Pava. Incredible, brilliant book but very much not everyone’s cup of tea.

Lanark. It’s amazing but not for everyone. Think it’s named best Scottish novel ever or something similar

A work acquaintance asked me what I was reading while I was reading Bunny by Mona Awad. I kind of gushed about how much I was enjoying it and have since thought that if she does read it, she might think I’m a deeply weird person.
I am giving it to both of my grown daughters for Christmas, since they already know that I’m deeply weird.

With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge.
It’s my firm belief that everyone *should* read it at some point in their life, but you really need to be mentally prepared before committing yourself to read the whole thing. I read it in my early teens and it completely changed how I looked at the world.
