I love books recommended on here but unless I specify you mfs will recommend theory. You all read anything captivating without overt political themes?

I read The Moonstone this summer. I’m a sucker for Victorian lit. And it’s really an engrossing mystery. Not so much in how it unfolds, rather because you can tell “Oh, so that’s where this detective novel troupe started.” Very interesting for a modern audience.
