    I’m not looking for little hints and foreshadowing that can be appreciated when you know the ending. I am looking for something that, while it may include what I mentioned, goes beyond that. I’m wondering if there is any such book that the meaning of everything shifts drastically upon finishing it but not necessarily in a conclusive way where the rug is pulled and you fall down…. But something that recontextualizes it all completely.

    Something you could read from the beginning after having just finished it and it’s as if you’re reading a new book in a way.

    Does such a thing exist? If so please recommend!

      We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver. It’s an excellent book, I’ve probably listened to the audiobook 10 times.

      Your perception of every event changes on the second read.

      Blood Meridian. It’s so dense and challenging. I was amazed by how much I missed the first time through.
