ETA: I have read and downloaded many of your recommendations and have had lots of fun reading them! You are such a welcoming enthusiastic bunch. Thanks a lot! Still looking for more suggestions in case someone wants to add to the ever growing list. So far this year I have read twenty seven books.
Looking for some good mystery novels/short story compilation, etc. Preferably no sci fi or futuristic stuff, no Stephen King. TIA.
FWIW just finished reading “We have to talk about Kevin” by Lionel Shriver. It was OK.
Oh this one I read many years ago and liked it a lot.
Really, it’s hard to go wrong with Umberto Eco. Though I have to admit, I’ve tried MULTIPLE times to crack Foucalt’s Pendulum and that’s a super dense read.
Basically the same plot as Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code, but for intellectuals. :)
Oh that woulld be The island of the day before for me. Couldn’t fully understand it but read it nonetheless. Foucault’s pendulum was my late father’s favorite book so thanks for the memory.
I gave up on Faucalts Pendulum. I liked the first chapter, but the following chapters were… Yes, dense is a good word for it.
