i’ve been getting back reading physical books lately, and am looking for something ‘heavy’ to read, so to speak!
something that’ll make you realise the grotesque of life or show things that are usually put lightly or sugar-coated bluntly. not something that throws stuff at you intentionally, but things that make you read over the same sentence multiple times because it’s so easy to miss the weight it carries.
to be clear, i am not looking for some dark fiction type of stuff. not some authors suspicious fantasies. not one for romance in books, either.
if it helps with recommendation, i enjoyed texts of the baroque era when i had to go over some for studies!
it can be classical works, poems, books, i don’t mind. just want things to read that make you dig into your thoughts, haha
