One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
4.0
Tough read but worth it despite many of the outdated terms used throughout
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
4.25
Get a copy with some a good section of notes. This is a fun book and a wild thing to read but much of the satire will go over your head without some additional context
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
3.5
More exciting than actually going fishing if you ask me
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Trilogy of Four by Douglas Adams
adventurous
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.5
Most zany, self-aware sci-fi bang for your buck you’ll easily find. Definitely a few passages that don’t age well though
The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
3.0
Some really great parts, some painfully slow parts. Little else to say
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
4.0
VERY different from the movie it inspired but that’s not a bad thing
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
slow-paced
3.5
An interesting take on the idea of robots and the roles they can play in human society. However, this was a bit slow for my liking and is hindered by an ending I found to be rushed and a little unfulfilling
Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton
4.75
A wild story start to finish. Loved the style and voice used by the author throughout the book.
To All Appearances a Lady by Marilyn Bowering

A great idea trapped by a writing style I could not enjoy for all my efforts to do so
