Does anyone have book recommendations about the spread and normalization of crimes within certain societies? By which I mean societies in which crime and killing have become a stable feature in everyday life that it's become so normal. The recommendations could be non-fiction books of analyses of existing socities that have faced (and are facing) these issues and what became of them, and it could be fiction books that deal with fictional societies.

Bonus points if they're non-US/Euro-centeric🫶🏽 the US and the West's perspectives and news are so dominant on the internet (esp the US) that I'm so tired of reading thought-pieces about them🙂

Would be grateful for recommendations if anyone has any🥰

I don't know what it is, but I am having a hard time getting into this.

Hi all! Since this is one of our upcoming Winter Readalong picks, I want to reread it but as an audiobook this time around. Does anyone have a specific version that they enjoyed? I’ve seen so many different narrators around on Libby and idk which one to choose. Help a girl out lol 😂

I've been wanting to challenge myself and try Russian literature. The only book I can think of is War and Peace, but I think that's going to be too challenging for me at the moment. Any suggestions?
