hi all!
for some reason, i like to read books that are really depressing lol
Last year I finally read some classic dystopia for the first time; 1984, brave new world and the handmaids tale, and I really enjoyed the “tone” of those – pessimistic, quotable, troubling and dark.
I’m open to more dystopia, but I also want to read books with a similar vibe across any other genres too. Basically, anything that is gut-wrenching and can make me think “holy shit, that is truly awful” as i’m reading.
Someone has suggested “the road” by cormac mccarthy, so that’s next on my list I think.
thanks for any and all reccs!
