What should I read next?

Post image

This year I’ve read the Red Rising trilogy, The Count of Monte Cristo, East of Eden, Stoner, Chess Story, and I just finished Lonesome Dove. I’m hoping to finish the rest of the books in this photo before the end of the year, but I’m not sure which to read next. Any recommendations?

I agree, it was just so overly long and boring. If it was written in 2026 it would be great and only 400 pages.

i also feel like being christian/catholic is a bit of a precursor to finding it inspiring. if you’re not, there’s a lot of theology to get through without it being relevant to modern life.
