Well I love Steven King.

He's known for horror sci fi, but he's got some fantasy books that are very good too. And short stories.

My favorite:
The Dead Zone
The Tommy Knockers
The Green Mile
Under The Dome
The Regulators

Fantasy:
Fairy Tail
The eyes of the dragon

Short stories:
The Bachman Book (lots of people don't know about this, one of his earliest, under a pseudonym)
You Like It Darker

He has many more famous ones (the stand, It, The Shining, ect) but those are not some of my favorite. I'm sure many would love to argue about that though.

My man Stephen can cook! Im actually reading It right now. Very dense and a lot of details, but damn that slaps you on how immersive this man can be!

Yeah he actually has a lot of different styles.

And not to put him on blast but he used to do lots of coke.

I believe that's what The Tommy Knockers is so tweaky lol

BTW - what you reading?
 
Another thing I like is his books rarely ever start slow. They usually are action from the beginning. Less so his fair tail type books but otherwise
 
Haruki Murakami is great imo. Kafka on the Shore is a good starting point.
Very absurd stuff.

Also Paul Auster's New York Trilogy for postmodern absurdism.

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman & everything by Walter Moers are my favorite fantasy books.

Obviously 1984 by Orwell & Brave New World by Huxley are the greatest SciFi novels.

The Periodic Table by Primo Levi is fantastic non fictoon if you like chemistry.

PiHKAL & TiHKAL by Ann & Sasha Shulgin are 10/10, even if you don't know anything about chemistry.

I know this might be obvious, but have you read or are interested in the Beat generation writers. ( kerouauc, Burroughs, William S, ect)

I have a sizeable book collection. Also, book collections I inherited. Not valuable, just lots on many subjects.

I have always found my self ingulfed more in non-fiction that is of historical nature. Political histories and conspiracy are fascinating.

Absurdist fiction,🤔 easy read; Becket, Waiting for Gadot. Play.( let me guess, no shit Sherlock). Have you gone through what are regarded as top 100 of western literature classics. I swear some of those just suck. Usually the ones we had to read in school.

Speaking of Sherlock, what about mystery? Are you an insomniac? Then try Russian literature.lol War and peace. Fuck that, just shoot me.

I have a collection of all sorts of the type of books you described. My little sister was into that and anime, scifi , horror, strange stuff also. I just boxed it up and stored it or left it.

From the description I will assume you read Nick Cave's, The Death of Bunny Munro. Do you wanna know what Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting wrote on the Jacket? If you haven't read it, tell me and I will give you the discription he gave.

I dont do classic books lol. Like you said, i had to read some of them in school, but im from Brazil, so the classics were different but still boring lol. Never touched the mistery genre. I do like anime, horror, maybe some lovecraft as well.
This book of the bunny sounds very good, I love a sad and miserable book!

Recipes. And collections. This one is wonderful and so traditional.
I do like to write my own recipes too at times, though.
And I really like this treasure and it's artistic gleam. A Nice One.

It got kind of dusty. Sry I'm a little rustic now. lol.

I have an old recipe book that starts with basic cuts of meat ,showing the parts on animal and how tough or tender etc they are
It then moves on to dairy and types of milk and cheese ,its worth a read just by itself .

Sorry was miles off ,thought you meant cook book

I had one of those books before. They are a very good ' reference. '

However, like other things in life. They get took or they ' vanish ' somehow.

Cuts of meat are a skill to know. My Granpa

was Butcher.
 
I stuggle with the patience when it comes to fiction nowadays ,nearly all my books are nonfiction, which is a shame because I know how engrossed you can get with a good book
