I’ve only found like two books like this and finished both so by PVnRTEnthusiast Related: Suggest me a book that will make me feel cozy, peaceful, and content. I want to feel at home in a book again. Pirates and romance are welcome here. Books like Haunting Adelaide Any factual unbiased books about the founding of Israel/Palestine as far back as possible (Biblical/Roman times) until now? Book recommendations please! Realistic book about mortality or more so anxiety about losing loved ones

TheChocolateMelted on October 16, 2023 6:29 pm From what I’ve heard, *Discgrace* by J. M. Coetzee fits the bill. From what I’ve read, it’s probably not the only one of his.
