    Hey !

    I am open to any genre so long as the narrator (either throughout or for parts of it) is 3rd person Omniscient and well written.

    *Ideally* i would like books with an Omniscient narrator who despises a character in the novel they are narrating. A subjective narrator who roots for one party and is biased against the other. Though they may not have agency in the story itself.

    I have a few books on my radar;

    * *Pride and Prejudice* (Jane Austen)
    * *Cannery Row* (John Steinbeck)
    * *The Rook* (Daniel O’Malley)
    * *Use of Weapons* (Iain Banks)

    Perhaps this is enough already, but more does not hurt.

    I want to get a feeling for what makes an Omniscient (Subjective) narrator work, so that i may apply this knowledge to my 4th novel 😀 I am not picky when it comes to genre, while i write Sci-Fi, my reading habits are *all over the place*.

    So yeah, i hope this is enough info. Thanks for any suggestions !

    1. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell has a pretty snarky (if extremely dry) narrator, especially in the many many footnotes. Very Austenian.
