Without naming the book, tell me a line that readers of it will instantly recognize💭💭

hi friends, i’m curious if you have any books that you absolutely loved but wouldn’t necessarily recommend to anyone (and if so, why?)

maybe they’re a little weird and experimental, or polarising, or they scratch a particular itch in your brain that you don’t think the general reader would understand.

a couple of mine are:

• The Waves by Virginia Woolf - so beautiful but possibly her most unconventional. has put more than one friend into a reading slump lol
• The Web of Meaning by Jeremy Lent - very dense nonfiction, very complex even with a background in neuroscience, but one of the most ambitious and mindblowing books i’ve ever read
• A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - personally i read this at a time when it was very impactful and eye-opening but understand it’s extremely heavy and has come under a lot of (valid) criticism

p.s. if you are a fan of either of the first two let’s be friends
