Fell in love with Joyce's writing when I read this. Just waiting for the right time to read it with my daughter. Important themes, strong female characters, it's got it all.

The Fisherman
Recommended by
kevin
Yes, The Fisherman is a little Lovecraftian, with its ancient gods, cultists, and watery... things. But it has much more going for it. The Fisherman is a work of beauty that Lovecraft never came close to.
You grieve with Abe as he tries to pick up the pieces. You worry about what Dan will do... and when he'll break. You wonder which story you are actually reading and who is telling it.

Eye-opening paper, written with clarity and insight.
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.
Sunshine

Well that took a long time! It is wordy book, and I do not normally enjoy wordy books, but I did enjoy this one. I tried recently to re-read King's "It" but god is it wordy. This is wordy in a different way, you're in the head of the strong female lead, who has her flaws and anxieties and her inner monologue reflects this. It's about vampires and I'm sad that it's a standalone effort.

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.
