Happy holidays Mur! I hope you've had a great start for this year!

I have some book recs for you :D

My favorite book right now is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams: a trilogy in five parts. It's a wonderfully satiric sci-fi story about god, the universe, and everything.

The second favorite, sometimes favorite is also a classic: Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Which is about a mentally disabled man named Charlie who enters an experimental quest for intelligence accompanied, and mirrored, by a lab rat named Algernon. It's a riveting, bittersweet tale of the human mind, I highly recommend it.

My favorite novella is a Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez, which is the story of a murder that everyone knew was going to happen that nobody stopped, told 27 years in fractions by the people who remember it.

My favorite short story collection is Trigger Warning by Neil Gaiman. I'm fond of all his books, but something about the stories in Trigger Warning touched me greatly. I also highly recommend the audiobook read by the author, I think he did a magnificent job on it.


As an note, I'll also add a couple of books that I'm particularly attached to: Alice isn't Dead by Joseph Fink, which is a queer, horror road trip and a superhero story (though the book doesn' say so), and Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, which is a surreal adventure about ghosts and prophecies.

Thanks so much for the recs! I’ve actually been meaning to read Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for awhile! And I’ve heard good things about Alice Isn’t Dead too. Kafka on the Shore sounds so interesting, I’ll definitely check into that one.

Oh, you're in or a wild ride of Hitchhiker's! Do come yell at me about them when/if you read any of them, I am always happy to flail!
