A Study in Scarlet 123 pages: if you havenât read it, itâs one of my favorite books. First in the Sherlock Holmes series, of course a series that has been made into other medias and remade so many times, but I feel it never does the books justice. The writing is good, the characters are amusing, itâs witty, I love it.
In Watermelon Sugar 138 pages: itâs a very bizarre and unique post-modern novel, it feels like abstract, free-verse poetry but is actually somewhat dystopian/post-apocalyptic in the way that 1984 is. The whole story takes place in a few days. Thereâs simple writing but made so universal and understandable that some things could allude to several meanings.
Wishful Drinking (Carrie Fisherâs!) 163 pages: I normally am not a huge memoir/autobiography fan, this one is such a treat though. Carrie Fisherâs wit, but she also touches on some darker subjects. Some funny little add ins like celebrity encounters and other information.
