    Best literary fiction to get someone back into reading?

    I’m trying to help my friend get back into reading, so we have a mini “book club” with us two.

    She says she likes to read about “real life”, no fantasy or things like that. This sounds like literary fiction to me.

    Does anyone have recommendations for lit fic to get someone back into reading, as well as makes for a good discussion?

    Edit: she also said fiction and she liked Crying in Hmart

    Thoughts from 46% (page 249)

    Am I missing something here? Everyone on booktok everyone said that they were sobbing in this book… is the emotional part coming later? Am I not connecting with the book the way one is supposed to or intended by the author?

    Thoughts from 12% - parallels to Christianity?

    After learning it took Ganga three days to come into human form, I’m officially struck by the Hindu/Christian parallels. It’s fascinating how the same iconography and symbolism shows up across cultures and religions, would be very curious if anyone else knows if these patterns show up in other traditions as well!

    • Ganga takes 3 days to transform -> Jesus rose on the 3rd day (transformation)
    • Vishnu takes mortal form as a commoner baby -> God becoming human as a commoner baby
    • all the gods so far becoming human -> Christian God becoming human
    • the river parting to allow safe passage -> Moses parting the red sea
