I’ve been circling back to books that feel quieter but heavier the older I get Not really interested in the algorithm approved must reads anymore this is more of a personal list I’ve been meaning to revisit or finally get to the books that linger a bit longer than they announce themselves
This year’s stack looks like this
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
- The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa
- Journey to the End of the Night by Louis Ferdinand Céline
- The Waves by Virginia Woolf
- Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo
- Auto da Fé by Elias Canetti
- The Melancholy of Resistance by László Krasznahorkai
- Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih
- The Makioka Sisters by Junichiro Tanizaki
- Ice by Anna Kavan
Not aiming to complete them as much as sit with them properly some books feel less like stories and more like states of mind you enter for a while
Always looking for recommendations that are not loud about themselves but quietly devastating
