I'm curious what else you would add to it! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (1 child) A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage (was my favorite book for years) World War Z by Max Brooks The Stand by Stephen King Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris The Chamber by John Grissom The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein Armor by John Steakley Off the top of my head but I'm sure lots more would qualify if I looked at my library. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Vegan_Joe@anarchist.nexus 3 points 2 months ago* This is great! 'The History of the World in Six Glasses" and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" look especially intriguing. I've read Victor Frankel and Nietzsche before, otherwise they would be intriguing as well. I'm currently reading Steinbeck's East of Eden, and it may be a while before I finish it. But, when I do, I thank you for the next in queue. permalink fedilink source parent
