To the Lighthouse

Virginia Woolf | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

6.4

Book Favorite

"As far as the modernists go, this is neck and neck with Beckett for number ten (that’s cheating, I know), but Woolf must win. Like Baldwin, Woolf has made many a top 10 list, but again, there’s a reason: I know of no more gut-wrenching, soaring prose about shared consciousness, mortality and water. Truly a book for the cradle to the grave."

Marcus Samuelsson recommended The Autobiography of Malcolm X in Books (curated)

"I was certainly intrigued by this book because of the topic — Malcolm X is a fascinating guy in the Black Rights Movement. However, what really makes me appreciate this book is the top-notch journalism that Alex Haley exhibited, putting together these stories of Malcolm X's. I think about this book whenever I am at Red Rooster, located appropriately on Malcolm X Blvd."

Jun 16, 2021

Man, Blood Rage is a trip. It features completely over the top acting from pretty much everyone, some gnarly as fuck gore (practically done of course), and a batshit plot that instantly earns it's cult status.
Blood Rage is a proper gem of 80s horror, buried underneath a mountain of more popular slashers from the era, but well worth digging out.

Adam Silvera recommended Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in Books (curated)

"This remains one of my top favorite HP books! The Voldemort origins, the Dumbledore/Harry business, Draco's mission, the Snape reveal, and the moment the trio decide to not return to Hogwarts so they can stop Voldemort once and for all. It's a book that manages to balance so much darkness with light, so evident too in the last line. #AdamRereadsHP"

Gruesome Read

This gruesome and graphic read is absolutely mind-blowing and keeps you chomping at the bit with every turn of the page. I honestly felt repulsed at times and my stomach churned over and over again while reading this diabolical read. Full of horrific turns which in turn makes it into my top five reads of this year.
