This books makes you fucking feel life in full. So clever and beautiful. Mandatory reading. I learnt it by heart. I lost my only two friends because I couldn't stop talking about Martyr.

I read this a few months back and with every new book I read all I can think is “you’re not Martyr!….”
This was just instantly one of my favourite books of all time. I love it so much just thinking about it makes me cry. Does Kaveh know what he did here??? He is the greatest. Cyrus Shams I love you so much.

I haven’t devoured a book like I did with this one in so long. So engaging, digestible, poetic … if you’re in a reading slump this will help get you out

This is a New York Times bestseller so I’m sure you’ve already seen this floating around. I just wanted to say it’s worth the hype. It’s the first 5/5 stars read I’ve had in a while.
A beautifully written story about someone searching for meaning or purpose. Akbar does so well with writing in a nonlinear timeline and different perspectives. This made me cry and laugh, tense up, hold my breath, and finally exhale. I will be thinking of this book for a really long time I think. And I’ll probably go back to it many times. It also touches upon grief through unique lens.

And we criticize people. Strange somehow. try to do it the other way round. What an ugly tree (sounds ridiculous)! What a beautiful soul.
You will end appreciating people and nature.

By Angelos Merges. It’s technically beautifully painted and slightly uncanny. The last remaining human beings gather after a apocalypse to discuss the questio: what should we do now?
