ivanhoe

I'm working my way through some of the great literature of the 19th century, which over the last year has included Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Count of Monte Cristo.
Ivanhoe, this story of Saxons vs Normans, knights, and high adventure, has been an unexpected pleasure.

Robertson Davies’ deptford trilogy

This has been following me everywhere since I first encountered book 2 (the Manticore) on the CODEX dollar cart. I have historically been a dollar-cart sceptic, but since inhaaaaling this (Very quick ! Utterly charming !) series I’ve been changed. Read Robertson Davies. You can probably find him as I have, in boxes of free shit on the sidewalk, the shelves of your favorite used bookstore, or the depths of some old lady’s closet in a very good estate sale on Long Island.
Read if you like: a Fable, Jungian analysis, the traveling circus

Piranesi by susanna clarke

I have a few favourites that it’s impossible to choose one of all time, BUT this is the favourite that i’ve convinced the most people to read and been most successful in their responses to it. Just a perfect little experience of a book.
