What are ur fav books? (Fic and nonfic) If ya got 2.5h to kill I may as well send asks xD

skgkxlkslf im actually on the train now but that just means i have 7 more hours to kill so yes! thank you!

(im gonna have to divide this up into categories and ill give you my top 5 for each because im an indecisive bitch)

fav classic novels: women in love by d. h. lawrence, the waves & mrs dalloway by virginia woolf, a portrait of the artist as a young man by joyce, moby-dick (duh!)

fav contemporary classic novels (post-wwii for simplicity's sake): a single man by christopher isherwood, beloved by toni morrison, the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson (i read this every year for halloween), giovanni's room by james baldwin, housekeeping by marilynne robinson

fav classic novels that were written in 1913/14 but not published until 1971 thus making you reconsider the categories you take for granted before even having read a single word: maurice by e. m. forster

fav contemporary novels: a little life by hanya yanagihara (this is not a recommendation actually if you want to read this book find a therapist first, then put it in a box labeled 'uncle jimmy's failed tie-dye projects' and forget about it forever), call me by your name by andré aciman, earthlings by sayaka murata, milkman by anna burns, my tender matador by pedro lemebel

fav recent novels: assembly by natasha brown (you could also call this a novella tbh i think it's less than a hundred pages), swimming in the dark by tomasz jedrowski, the life of the mind by christine smallwood, jonathan abernathy you are kind by molly mcghee, the book of goose by yiyun li

fav short stories/short story collections: mothers and sons by colm toíbín, dubliners by james joyce, the garden party by katherine mansfield, odour of chrysanthemums by d. h. lawrence, life ceremony by sayaka murata

fav nonfiction: sea and sardinia by d. h. lawrence, the lonely city by olivia laing, fearing the black body by sabrina strings, a field guide to getting lost by rebecca solnit, shrill by lindy west

honorable mentions: the color purple by alice walker, through a glass darkly by jostein gaarder, disorientation by elaine hsieh chou, medallions by zofia nalkowska, what we dont talk about when we talk about fat by aubrey gordon

describe yourself as aesthetics: sunset by the sea, pressed flowers, staring at your friends laughing, iced hazelnut macchiato, the smell of opening a new book, pink tinted windows/glass, impulse shopping, plants on the window ledge, that annoying piece of hair that gets in your mouth, sheet masks, taemin trying to run his hand through his hair while he had a hat on, unwanted nostalgia, crying easily, listening to music on high volume, the run mv, the winner ‘exit’ teaser films, the feeling of getting a tattoo, streets in a foreign city at night, the very important hand touch in period dramas, alcoholic drinks that taste like they have no alcohol, flannel around your waist, sitting in the dark and watching the stars and moon
