The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories by Susanna Clarke
5.0
I love Susanna Clarke more than practically anything in the universe when it comes to books of fiction. This book is excellent and belongs in a museum where everybody can read it all the time.
Selected Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov
5.0
Anton Chekhov gets me. I love him. He should have lived long enough to hang out with me and talk about death and stuff. Gone too soon. Excellent book right here.
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard
5.0
The book is beautiful beautiful beautiful. And what a book it is. It's about a woman and her creek and all the things she sees and sees.
Assata: An Autobiography by Assata Shakur
5.0
Here is a book that will definitely make it into my top ten books list for the year. Assata is incredible. I love her. The way she talks about and spells out amerika and its kourt system is legendary. Every fiber of her being is opposed to the oppression, racism, and fascism of the united states and I just love it. She is a real revolutionary who faced down the massive deadly beast and slipped right under its pig nose. She should be an inspiration to every single person living in the police states of amerika. Also, of course and always, a massive shout out to Cuba.
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
5.0
A slow-ish start but damn did this book suck me in. I listened to the majority of it over the course of a ten mile hike through the woods, which is a great way to experience this book I think. You can see how this book must have inspired many fantasy books that have come after it, but this one is the original. It made me want to be a legit wizard, not a fake one like those harry potter books.
The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
An excellent book that took me back to a nostalgic time that perhaps never existed when I was a child wrapped in a blanket on a runny rainy fall day with brown leaves on the ground outside and a few still clinging to the branches and I could sit indoors and read fantastical books like this forever.
The book is also deeply flawed, like, there isn't even a single woman in it?
