my bf and i recently finished reading our first book together- this is how you lose the time war- and we had such a blast with it. i am personally not a huge fan of the poetic language nor the sci-fi elements, but we both loved the characterizations and the many plot twists.
now, we are looking for our next read. i think i would like to read something that's exciting and perhaps a little mysterious. something that will make me laugh or disgust me or grip me. idk man, i'm not a huge reader anymore, but i love movies and am looking for a story like parasite, triangle of sadness, anatomy of a fall or banshees of inisherin.
if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

My wife & I love this book. It’s a fun easy read.
Poor Things by Alasdair Gray.
**Foucault’s Pendulum** by Umberto Eco is very fun but also got some fun twists. Basically, these three book editors get bored with their day jobs – reviewing occult manuscripts – and decide to create a fake, sprawling conspiracy theory known as “the Plan”. They weave in real historical elements and mysteries, kind of like *The Davinci Code.* But when they start to believe their own conspiracy, events lead to deadly results.
