Recs if you like The Prince...
books to claim to have read to look insufferable
puts beret on a jaunty angle ‘why yes i went to Oxbridge and go skiing on my holibobs with papa, why do you ask?’ takes a hit of tobacco flavoured vape, puts asterisk in margin of the obscure classic i’m ‘reading’
the list for people who want to look ‘well read’ and need some books to name drop - look no further if you have read them, more power to you, but this is explicitly about the people who claim to have read them but can’t read instructions on pasta
consider this a shopping list 🖤

When Daria Morgendorffer wasn’t watching Sick Sad World, she was usually reading a book, most likely a classic filled with existential dread, biting satire, or the quiet collapse of human civilization. Enjoy!
