I haven’t been moved by a book in some time. I love good prose with deeply developed characters, which i feel is so hard to find. Beautiful language but balanced so it’s not overbearingly descriptive. Meaty stories that make you feel. My three favorite books are:
- Name of the Wind (I think this one ruined me for all other books)
- Atlas Shrugged
- Count of Monte Cristo
I really like fantasy but I find so much of it is action driven (Sanderson, Lynch, etc.) vs. beautiful language and while I enjoy the plot, I don’t LOVE many of the writing styles. Can you help me find something that will move me?? Open to all genres. It’s been so long since I have LOVED a book.
