Like usual, I'm reading a bunch of things at once:

Naomi Klein - This Changes Everything
Peter Kropotkin - The Conquest of Bread
Pierre Joseph Proudhon - What is Property
John Steinbeck - East of Eden
Hunter S. Thompson - Hell's Angels

Go ahead, call me a pinko commie.

Hey all. So I'm very unread. I'm trying here to get back into reading novels, but am dumb and don't really know where to start besides just looking up some classics or whatever.

Someone give me some book recs that they think I'll enjoy just based on idk what you'd just assume I might like.

For a bit of context: the last book I read fully for pleasure was probably 3-4 years ago - Faust by von Goethe (yes really a play but whatever). It's also taken me over 4 years to read the first half of The Trial twice. So I'm just looking to start fresh.

I don't know what to tell you, bro, but before you do anything else, look down at your post count, and then never post again.

Catch-22, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and Slaughterhouse five are all fun and classic reads. I also recommend Lovecraft's short stories and The Turning of the Screw if you're into Faust. Since I've started talking about short stories, you (and everyone else) should read The Yellow Wallpaper.

Also if anyone has good recs based off of my recs, I'm all ears (which means I don't know how to read).

I'm not sure how into science fiction I am. I'm skeptical, although a couple of those sound interesting. Namely Time Enough for Love and Stranger.

Kurt Vonnegut was on my shortlist of writers I want to check out - almost took out Night Mother from the library, and probably will later. They didn't have Slaughterhouse Five but Im keeping an eye out for it.

All of the rest intrigue me as well. Added to my list of things to get to, though it might be a while since I'm slow and stuff.

Relax, nobody expects you to be sexy and smart.

This is the internet, nobody expects you to be either.
