I’ve read The Road, Station 11 and Philip K. Dick for example. Not looking for anything YA. by Subject-A-Strife Related: Books explaining military strategy? Fiction in which the main character has no friends and/or feels invisible. A Christian book where a characters actions are explicitly motivated by God Books with melancholy night scene(s) where the character contemplates their life (directly or indirectly) Open recommendation for any book you’ve ever read under 300 pages
