I’m trying to curate my bookshelf more to my tastes which have changed over the years. I’ve realised I really like dark books that deal with heavy themes and are quite depressing/traumatic. I also prefer character-driven books to plot-driven, where characters deal with a lot of internal struggles.
My favourites have been:
-A Little Life
-Norwegian Wood
-My Dark Vanessa
-Conversations with Friends
I also like weird books like Bunny and Kafka on the Shore.
Currently reading My Year of Rest and Relaxation and loving it (I like messy characters who are a bit weird and unlikeable).
So just any dark books that are really emotional/impactful/messed up (where you can’t stop thinking about it for days after) and also weird books. Much appreciated!
