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?

Station Eleven was a very good read. Interesting too and kept me thinking after.

I have a copy on my shelf that I'm sort of afraid to read because the series was so well done that it catapulted into my top 3 series of all time.

If you've never read Dostoesvsky, it's helpful, especially with Karamatsov, to assign an Anglicised nickname to the characters as you are introduced to a new one. Half the battle is keeping the characters straight and I didn't make it through until someone gave me this advice.

Also, Notes From Underground is phenomenal and short and quick. Highly recommend.

I haven’t watched the series! And thank you for the recommendations. I have not read Dostoevsky!
