a thread of some books I've read recently/love

Nineteen Minutes | @jodipicoult - my all time favorite book.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief | Rick Riordan - not sure why I didn't read this when I was little but still good now

American Assassin | Vince Flynn - was surprised I liked this as much as I did.

Kindred | Octavia Butler - had to read for Lit but I absolutely couldn't put it down. So good

The Rose That Grew from Concrete | Tupac Shakur - Pac was ahead of his time and these poems were so eye opening

Soulcatcher | Charles Johnson - another I had to read for Lit but couldn't put down. Made my heart ache

I Can't Make This Up | @KevinHart4real - silly but also relevant

Incognegro | Mat Johnson - another for lit that was really, really good. Graphic novel form which was different for me but I loved it.

Slaughterhouse-Five | Kurt Vonnegut - PHEW whatta book. Must read.

The Handmaid’s Tale | @MargaretAtwood - legitimately could not put the book down. Absolutely incredible, real, terrifying, and eye opening. I can’t wait to watch the whole series on Hulu.

The Disaster Artist | @gregsestero - I read this entire book in one day. I LOVED IT and can’t wait to see the move (finally!!) in a few weeks here in town.

The Road | Cormac McCarthy - I’ve been debating adding this to the thread but today I gave a presentation on it in Lit and now I have a newfound respect for it.

The Martian | Andy Weir - I’m honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this book! Excited to watch the movie.

The Stranger | Albert Camus - a very interesting read. Not my favorite but not terrible.

So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed | @jonronson - finally sat down today and finished this book. I kind of feel like anyone on social media should read this.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon - Charlie’s fave at the moment so I gave it a chance. I just finished it 2 minutes ago and I’m already sad I can’t keep reading it. 10/10

Haven’t added to this thread in a long ass time but I just finished Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments and WOW! Stayed up past my bed time to finish it. Great follow up to The Handmaid’s Tale! Read ‘em!
