I'm currently reading The Name of The Rose, which is SO good, but takes a lot of energy to stay on top of all the details and names and such. Id like to alternate with more flowy books. here's some other books/authors I like, please recommend books you think id like (even if they are dense, for later!)
Remains of the Day / Never let me go
Autobiography of Red especially
Vonnegut, Octavia Butler's Lilith series
Pachinko
Mr. Norris Changes Trains
Jane Austen
The Stranger
The Book Thief
Challenger Deep
Richard Wright
Perks of being a wallflower
Honestly that's all I can remember rn. I guess I like more thought-provoking stuff. I'm not paying much attention to the murder mystery in the name of the rose, but I love the theological debates.
Bonus points for complex romance/sex (my fav part of Lilith's Brood).
