I’m a bit tired of easily-digestible writing, and I don’t really buy into the whole ‘language should be invisible’ theory. I am looking for a book with a strong story written in a somewhat more complex/advanced and enticing language.
Bonus points for dry wit 🙂
E.g., I am reading Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde, and words like ‘obsequious, spurious, effusive’ keep grabbing my attention and I miss that strong eloquence…
