such a great list, so many books I love and many I don’t recognise!!
glad you like it!!! i made this list by going thru award lists, articles, any source i could find of acclaimed books from the last few years. i also went to some specific indie publishers to find some titles. i am just getting back into reading and wanted to know what's out there.
I can’t stop laughing at the name of the list LOLLL I love it
Time to update my pretentious book shelf
Over 400 books on a list is seriously impressive
Hey! So I think I’m that pretentious friend. Here are my recs: The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, The Feast of the Goat, The Orphan Master’s Son, People of the Book, The Buried Giant, and Year of Wonders
Wow, a list specifically targeted at me lol
😂😂 I love this list and how looong it is!
Also the variety here - I think my mother in law, who is basically a suburban wine mom, has read a fair number of these lmao (no disrespect to suburban wine moms, love em!!)
14% overlap... how pretentious does that make me?
omg i love this list!!! 18% overlap 😌🏆
Some recs for you! (It's a big list, forgive me if you have these already) Ali Smith, Max Porter, Claire Foster, Olga Ravn, Sheila Heti and David Mitchell's work all might fit the brief? Thank you so much, I put quite a few on my TBR :)
