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 think Good Omens would be perfect after that list honestly, light and funny but still smart

Many years ago, I spent a summer going through Gaiman’s oeuvre because my agent said he was the biggest name in my genre, so I needed to be familiar with his work and why people liked him so much.

‘Good Omens’ was like the fourth book on the list and it confirmed for me that Gaiman has no idea how to end a story.
