I’d like to hear which highly regarded books in the modern literay fiction genre (90s to present) that in your opinion deserve all the accolades and/or popularity. by According-Archer-896 Related: Suggest a book that will leave a hole in my heart after finishing it Similar to “Know My Name” Suggestions Suggest me books like the movies “Dude, where is my car ?” or “Harold and Kumar goes to white castle”. Books that feel like the quote “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.”
