The Road is definitely a read that sticks with you. I didn’t think it would, but for some reason that book always pops back up in my mind. I’ll have to check out your other suggestions. Thanks!

Loved The Name of the Rose 🌹. The film is also commendable, with plenty of rain and dirt!

I'm at a library right now and I'm going to pick up Lincoln in the Bardo because of this list. Thanks, I'm looking forward to it!

I love Eco. Foucault’s pendulum is my fave by him.

George Saunders’ very first collection *CivilWarLand* is his best. The Lincoln novel doesn’t hold up to his earlier stories.

There on your floor with your bow, you may also like my collection *Idiocy, Ltd.* But I’m meagre stuff next to Saunders.
