No babe it’s so cool and hot that you always insist that fantasy books written to meet a 4th graders’ comprehension skills have more complex themes and a greater sense of praxis than anything written for adults

#good point I should actually rec something too #Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke #short and easy to read story about a guy whose psyche is trapped in his work computer #Three Men In A Boat by Jerome K. Jerome #Victorian humorous story about three men (and a dog) going on holiday that shows we've always been like This #Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfield #moody story about a woman whose wife went under the sea and came back... wrong #i loved it but don't expect something that explains anything. It's about grief.#If Cats Disappeared From the World by Kawamura Genki #short and easy read about a man who discovers he's ill and makes a pact with a devil to live a day longer #it's actually so sweet #The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa #Cat POV. I don't know what to say. This is so gorgeous and sweet and I cried so much. I love it.#Less by Andrew Sean Greer #Arthur Less is a gay writer who is going to turn 50 soon. Also his lover is marrying someone else.#He goes on a trip around the world to forget about that. Funny short novel.#Devil House by John Darnielle #It's the fictional story of a true crime author dealing with the responsibility of true crime.#Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin #a classic. It's great.#The City and The City by China Mieville #It's a murder mystery set in a very odd city. Too complex to explain in tags #Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami #I'm not sure how to describe it. It's just about life? idk but it's my favourite #How It Feels To Be Colored Me by Zora Neale Hurston #it's an essay. Make this your foray into non fiction #The Break by Katherena Vermette #It's about a family of First Nations women in Canada. It's amazing but warning for SA #Kobane Calling by Zerocalcare #A graphic novel about the author's journey in northern Syria and his visit to Rojava
