The Postman

Bloody loved it! Epic story with a vision for the future that is possibly more relevant in 2020 than it was when the book was first published.
The Sad Bastard Cookbook
Recommended by
Ree
This cookbook got me to try preparing meals that didn't come in a box. Recipes here are straightforward and interspersed with bits of nerdy humor. (I think I have as many pages bookmarked for references I enjoyed as for recipes I want to try.) There are also some fancier meals for when you're having a good day and want to try something more advanced.
Have a free cookbook, as a treat.
25 Ways To Kill A Werewolf
Recommended by
kevin
A brilliantly modern take on the werewolf slayer trope where a growing, changing character discovers that the real predators are usually the men in her life.
There's much more to this book than how Elkie kills werewolves and works out where they're coming from. Her relationships change, she finds out what she's capable of, not just killing 'furred-up' beasts, but farming, rescuing, growing.

Instantiation
Recommended by
sohkamyung
A collection of Egan's recent stories, this collection shows the strength and breath of the author's imagination in stories that span from personal crisis, financial and biological, to ones that envelop the whole world and involve characters that think about and solve complex problems.
The Great Gatsby

As fab as everyone everyone said it was.
R/evolution
Recommended by
sakina
Mosaic novel: a set of vignettes that link together beautifully to create one of the possible scenarios for the grinding end of the world as we know it.
Anne of Green Gables
Recommended by
kevin
What an absolutely lovely, fun, and extremely well-written book!
The funniest story I've read in years, and with such heart.
The descriptions of the natural world surrounding Anne are... sublime. Lucy Montgomery's writing should be taught as the pinnacle of its particular kind of author/narrator storytelling.
Let's Play White
Recommended by
sakina
Thoughtful collection of tales that stay with you for months afterwards. Beautifully written, sensitively conceived, a series of set ups for injustices, love, and pain with a backdrop of the Black cultural experience in a white-oriented world.
The Sea Hates A Coward
Recommended by
kevin
I don't normally like the whole zombie genre.
But what Crowley has done with his undead POV, uprising, mutiny, sea monster, revolutionary, thoughtful treatise on life (then death and then more life) tale is absolutely stunning.
Took a bit of effort to get going, but it's definitely worth sticking with it. A great addition to the New Weird.
Nate Crowley's book put me off scampi for months!
Waterborne Exile
Recommended by
kevin
A fantastic middle book!
New characters, new plans, new plots and schemes, and new enemies join the existing and brilliantly realised characters from the first book.
The underlying evil is still on the edges. We're never sure who truly represents it - which makes this series a wonderful read for fantasy fans looking for more meat on the bone.
Another must read!

Amazon's latest anti-reader change
Amazon’s latest change to their older Kindle devices would be perfectly acceptable, if it wasn’t for the fact that it comes after a long chain of anti-consumer and anti-reader practices.
