I highly recommend Faulkner’s masterpiece, The Sound and The Fury. It is devastating. I love Caddy! It’s not a book that should be read once.

@theCIofficial I think The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It’s so desolate and human and metaphorical. I think that the unknown event is the equivalent of a Judge Holden or a Chigurh.

Tender Is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica is absolutely horrific! I highly recommend this book. The content and the wording are chilling. And that ending…wow! #WritingCommunity

After Allegiant, I swore that I’d never read another Veronica Roth book. But here I am borrowing Poster Girl from the library…am I a sucker? Sure.

@thetaoishway The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Franny and Zooey by Salinger is a close second.

J. G. Ballard

@annaabgarowicz Yesterday. I’m trying to get through Ballard’s Crash and Foucault’s history of sexuality vol 2. Since I’m in writing mode, it’s difficult to want to read.
