“The government wouldn’t do that”
“Oh yes they would.”
Reading is ALWAYS political!

“The government wouldn’t -“ I’m going to stop u right there bc the government absolutely would do that
great list! i definitely recommend chain-gang all-stars and ella minnow pea
i love this list! off the top of my head i want to recommend the long walk by stephen king or the running man!
Oooh! I have been wanting to dip my toes in some of his books, but normally too spooked at his other ones. Thanks for the recommendations!
those are my two favorites by far!!! he has some longgg books and a lot of his books can be very… problematic for lack of a better word, but those two are a lot tighter and more focused!! and not as weirdly problematic as some of his others!
I’m still perplexed that this list isn’t more widely known!
I just finished reading It's Not the End of the World by Jonathan Parks-Ramage and holyyyy shit is it relevant. Genuinely felt like reading into a very possible future in the worst way. Highly recommend.
