book recommendations
hiiii, I was looking for any book recommendations you've read and enjoyed. really most genres are okay for me, leave a little review about the book if you'd like :)
If you like horror, just about anything by H.P. Lovecraft. He is the grandmaster of the genre...his most well-known story is "The Call of Cthulhu".
I like post-apocalyptic fiction, very much. Lucifer's Hammer is a classic of the genre, & one I recommend highly. It is the best story ever about a big comet hitting the earth & the consequences thereof. Another classic is A Canticle for Leibowitz...it's a bit wordy & has a vaguely religious theme without being preachy. If you don't mind either feature then you'll enjoy it.
More literary post-apoc examples would be The Dog Stars, & The Passage & The Twelve. Heller's Dog Stars is one of the best novels I've ever read, period.
The darkest post-apoc novel I've read so far is The Road. I believe it is the most realistic projection of what life would be like right after any catastrophe of sufficient size & power to annihilate modern civilization. It's bleak & pitiless...yes, McCarthy's book is what the movie of the same title is based on.
@slowdecline48 hi!! thank you so much for so many recommendations, I looked them up and they catch by attention. although the one im most interested in is the road, because last year I happened to read a chapter of the book and was so intrigued by it and I've been wanting to read it ever since so I think ill get with that one first, I've never seen the movie tho, I didn't even know it existed since last year so Ill read the book first hahahah
which is your favourite book???
I can't answer that question. Seriously! Each one is good in its own way.

I recommend the bible. It has lots of books and is divided into old and new testments.
It tells the story of God's covenant with His people.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"
An intense, loving father-son relationship, a motorcycle trip through rural north US, a deep philosophical inquiry about what's meaningful in life, and the tragic story of a brilliant intellectual with mental health issues severely mistreated by mental health institutions.
All in one life-changing book.
A brilliant, thrilling novel too, in terms of literary value.
A good review: https://www.getstoryshots.com/books/zen-and-the-art-of-motorcycle-maintenance-summary/
