Or should I say my favorite run? So grateful for the past year and half of books that have found me…here they are below along with some short ratings

The Book of the New Sun series- Gene Wolfe (10/10, my first Sci-fi and fantasy books EVER and what a entry point. I still understand about 50 percent of what happens to my old friend Sevarian but what I did was some of the coolest sci fi shit ever. A master class of soft world building, the literary equivalent of the first time I played Dark Souls)

Suttree- Cormac McCarthy (9/10, may be my favorite CM novel.)

The Maniac- Benjamin Labatut ( 8.5/10, His first novel is my top 5 all time, this one was very good but did not reach the heights that book did)

Moby Dick- Herman Melville (9.5/10, what is there to be said, its Moby f'n Dick, huge, brilliant, funny, boring, and confusing masterpiece)

The Oxygen Thief- Anonymous (5/10, least fav of the lot but not without its own merits)

Mort- Terry Pratchett (8.7/10, my first proper dive into The Discworld series and man this book is awesome fun)

Stoner and Butcher's Crossing- John Williams (10/10,9.5/10, Some authors prose just works for you on a soul level and thats John William's to me, both books are easily top 10 reads of my life)

Lonesome Dove- Larry McMurtry (10/10, never have a devoured 1000 pages of reading with more joy, laugter and sadness. Come for Call and Gus, you stay for Clara)

The Exorcist- William Peter Blatty (8.8/10, read this around halloween and had an absolute blast. A deeply haunting and an oddly cozy read)

100 Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez (8.7/10, befuddling and sweeping Epic. Another book what else is there to be said about it, foundational Spanish literature)

East of Eden and The Pearl- John Steinbeck (10/10, 8,6/10, as someone with a deeply religious background E.O.E is everything I love about the deep wisdom of religious texts but with the master character work and dialogue of Steinbeck. The Pearl is very fucking sad)

Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 1 and 2- Matt Dinniman (9/10,8.5/10, 30 years of gaming and RPGs make you feel right at home in the D.C.C universe. Silly, funny and suprisingly dark and human at times. Feel's like this is becoming the Harry Potter of the 2020's)

I almost feel as if my luck is going to dry up and i'm going to run into a valley of uninteresting and stale books. I guess that's the beautiful thing about the gift of reading to enjoy, there is always more BOOKS!

Whats your best run of books you've had the gift of experiencing in your life so far? Do you think my taste is shit? Lets discuss!
