Recs if you like The Waste Land and Other Poems...

Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

writers exploring life under war or dictatorship often explore these themes through the image of the desecrated corpse or perverted burial rite. the dead body is front and centre in these works, mostly from writers in the global south.

Books saved the narrator in "Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal" by Jeanette Winterson. Books may yet save us. This is a list of all the books mentioned & referenced in the novel. Feel free to comment any that I missed

Books mentioned or quoted in The Secret History and books mentioned by donna tartt

Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" is one of my favorite series. It's heavily flawed, involves an incredible amount of Stephen King books that aren't labeled as "Dark Tower book", and it's soooooo many pages. (But I love it.) This list is made up of non-King books referenced in, or have parallel narratives/themes to. It's also just a great set of books.
