alt Hacker NewsAll fiction.
- The Great Gatsby. Really enjoyed it and seemed fitting with the current times.
- Buddenbrooks, Thomas Mann. Generational wealth come and gone. Good for putting things into perspective.
- Things Fall Apart, Achebe.
- The Pearl, John Steinbeck
- Hyperion (first book), Dan Simmons. Great sci-fi. Bought the second book and look forward to reading it.
- Stoner, John Williams. Incredibly well written book
- One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez. Still finishing but I hope to finish in time for next year
Hyperion is awesome. Each story could be its own novella but especially the priest's tale. I also loved the consul's tale. I haven't read the rest yet because I am unsure how the story will go without that structure as I wasn't too invested in the space politics, but I hear it is good. Also if you haven't read, The Terror by Dan Simmons is also great and strikes historical/horror like I feel hyperion does scifi/horror
