"The conquest of his mind by age was not a mere blunting or slowing down but an erasure, as of a desert capital by a drifting millennium of sand. Time had bleached away the ornate pattern of his intellect, leaving a blank white scrap."

An engrossing, unpredictable novel with a lot to say about the lengths women must sometimes go to in order to survive. A great debut novel. Pick it up.

Cheating on Goldfinch for a sec with this bit of family terror. I'm only 15 pages in and I can already tell this is going to hurt me.

MyNamesParadise It's intense but it's one of my favorite books ever. It was so well written and emotional! 8y

Clive Barker signed this book before I had a chance to read it. I had no idea at the time this would turn out to be my favorite of his works.

ReadingOver50 How cool that you got a signed copy. 9y

Gilead | Marilynne Robinson
Pickpick

One of my very favorite books. A perfect examination of a thoughtfully religious life, especially for those of us without religion. Gilead is a comforting, beautiful masterpiece.

A feminist, time-traveling, apocalyptic love story with a heavy dose of 90s alt-rock nostalgia. The love story is painful, funny, and deliciously real. All the fantasy surrounding that story makes the relationship feel all the more grounded.
