the rare books that somehow made scrolling feel completely unimportant for a few hours.
i had no idea where this was going and somehow that made me want to keep reading even more.
the hearing trumpet
this started quietly and then got so emotionally complicated that i completely forgot about everything else.
the door
got way more attached to these people than i expected and suddenly i needed to know how everything would unfold.
katalin street
this one has that slow, quietly heartbreaking feeling that makes me want to keep reading just to understand everyone better.
iza's ballad
i thought i was getting a simple coming-of-age story and ended up completely invested in what happened next.
abigail
i kept telling myself i’d read one more page and then somehow disappeared into the whole strange world.
piranesi
this is so strange and unsettling that i couldn't stop reading just to figure out what was actually happening.
the employees
nothing about this sounds wildly exciting but somehow i kept thinking okay, just one more chapter.
stoner
i loved how strange and quietly funny this was because it kept making me question what “normal” even means.
convenience store woman
this felt so simple and peaceful that i didn't want to rush through it at all.
the summer book
this one had such a weird dreamlike feeling that i kept reading just to see how much stranger it could get.
the memory police: a novel
this was weird enough to keep me curious and unpredictable enough that i genuinely didn't know where it was going.
drive your plow over the bones of the dead
this tiny strange book made me want to keep reading because every answer seemed to create another question.
the invention of morel
i had absolutely no idea what was happening half the time and somehow that made me even more determined to keep going.
the unconsoled
i went into this knowing almost nothing and ended up completely absorbed by its strange, lonely little world.
the wall
