Listened to it, was fine, the narrator did a good job. The protagonists name is funnily very similar to a common mispronunciation of my last name, had a giggle over it

i'm always excited whenever i get my hands on new books and equally just as excited to share them. i didn't see a general thread dedicated to just book hauls so if you're seeing this and recently picked up some books (whether from a bookstore, secondhand, the library, online, a garage sale, literally anywhere) feel free to share what you hauled!
today i stopped by a secondhand bookstore and got the following: Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, and The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden.

So, I inherited a gargantuan amounts of old books from my grandma. They are your typical soviet era ugly hardbacks with a plain cover and a text like "the masterpieces of world literature". Many were bought as a subscription service that you could sign up to with newspapers in the sixties. Eastern Europeans will know. Now many of these are classics, or more unpopular works by classic authors. However, there are a LOT and I really want to sort out which ones are worth reading, and which ones are just old junk. Of course I wouldn't throw those away, just maybe use them for craft projects and such. I compiled a list on my profile with the title "Classics I own, please help" (not just "Classics", those are the ones already on my tbr). If some classic/old book lovers would look trough it, and tell me which ones do they recommend, and are worth reading, i would appreciate a lots❤️❤️❤️
Edit: thank you so much for everyone who helped, it really means a lot!! I already managed to add some to my tbr!

i won’t spoil anything because there’s nothing to spoil???? nothing is happening at all?? 400 pages to narrate two days??? i can’t stand any of the characters? we’re caught in this love triangle, this insta-love and endless descriptions of how hot they think the other is????? and don’t let me start about kamran…. i can’t stand this man.
won’t read the next books, enough is enough

I personally hate when they don’t match one of the books in series to the rest of them, like they’ll all have very specific and cohesive cover designs and height and one of the books in the series just has a random cover and they make it taller or shorter, like I don’t understand why they do this?? Any other things you guys hate to see in/on books?

I've got a question for you all: Why you show the badges you currently have? (I mean the three on your profile) Like why then and not the others?

Say Nothing sketched the Troubles through partial biographies of relevant people; an ordinary irish family - the McConvilles, a handful important (provisional) IRA militants, and few british officials peppered in here and there (had to retype three times cause I kept misspelling brutish officials, which 🤔). As he also mentions in the end, this book has a clear focus and the weight falls on the irish side, especially the happenings and developements within the IRA - as you read on you come to understand the titel of the book more and more. The 70s were handled more in detail, probably also to set the scene but the pace picked up when we moved through the 80-90s, even more so into the present.
As this was my entry into the subject matter I felt like this was a nice overview, it was long and detailed but not dense, rather it felt like a movie sometimes - Keefe told the story in an engaging way without making it sensationalist. It certainly picks ones interest and encourages to learn more. One thing tho, we only got to grasp and understand these poeple as well as Keefe understood them, for example Gerry Adams still felt elusive to me, just like Marian Price - while there was a detailed and specific picture drawn about Dolours Price and Brendan Hughes.
I cried (or rather held back my tears cause I read while commuting) so often, have some tissues ready. There are so many indicences that you can relate to contemporary things, it really makes you think. I feel the need to first go back further to establish the context better.
