I don't read very much anymore. But, I did recently read No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai which was very good. At the moment, I'm reading The Rent Collector by Camron Wright, which is also very good.

A pretty interesting series for people who like mythology and such is The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott. All the monsters and people in the series are based to some degree on actual myths and legends from around the world.

My favourite book would have to be The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It's a children's book, but I still think its worth a read.
12 Name: droplyn : 2019-11-05 22:45 ID:i+ek5w+n [Del]
Ulysses by James Joyce is very interestingly made and has good humor. All time favorite has to be Ficciones by Borges though. really really really good.

19 Name: Cerise : 2020-01-07 22:48 ID:EirSW8Hu [Del]
Seeing all these fans of Osamu Dazai (I'm one too), I have to wonder whether or not any of you have seen the anime Bungou Stray Dogs?
I love all the books that have been written on here; I read 'No Longer Human' and 'Kafka on the Shore' over the summer and they were amazing. I also read 'The Night Circus' a couple of years ago and it made a huge impression on me.
My personal favourite books are 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky and 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. However, I'm also a huge fan of authors like Edgar Allan Poe and Agatha Christie.
Recently I've been branching out more and reading a bit of fantasy, science-fiction and thriller novels such as, 'Good Omens' by Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett, 'The Invisible Man' by H.G. Wells, 'The Day of the Triffids' by John Wyndham and 'Pirate Latitudes', 'Congo', 'Airframe' and 'The Andromeda Strain' by Michael Crichton
I love reading and would really like recommendations or just discussing books in general.
Have a lovely evening! :-)
