I’m so glad I signed up to your newsletter! Every single one of these has my interest peaked and it’s so rare to find someone who seems to share my tastes in books. Such a treasure to find a list like this. Now, have you read anything by Jeff Vandermeer? I’m thinking especially about Venice Underground and City of Saints and Madmen. All though I love all his books equally CoSaM is probably one of my favorite books ever because no other book has ever made me both fall so in love with it I wanted to melt into it’s world and also make me so mad I had to restrain myself from tearing it up! (I would never damage a book ordinarily) It’s profoundly weird and evocative, but also so arrogant (the arrogance goes away in his later work, which are even better but the world he creates in his earlier books is like nothing else.) I could go on and on about his work but will restrain myself. Thanks for this inspiring list!
Happy to hear you like the books! And thanks for the tip, sounds greaaat! I see I already bookmarked some of his books, so will definitely give it a spin soon and let you know how I liked it :)
