Favorite Books
- Convenience Store Woman: This was my joker, my little women and my promising young woman. Sometimes the way you live your life is weird and your family and the incel you just met can't understand it, and that doesn't mean that it's wrong.
- Catch 22: Everyone knows this one. I'm not smart enough to give more insight. Yossarian's Avignon flashbacks haunt me since the very first time I read this book at 17. Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?
- Magnetized: This is a book about Ricardo Melogno, a man who killed four taxi drivers in 1982, whom the author interviewed while Melogno did time in prison. The way the book is structured and what the author decided to show the reader is not really intended as a cautionary tale of a dangerous man, so I feel like some people might not love it. In any case, I did enjoy reading it, and it is a brilliant book. Sorry to give a quote from amazon, but i agree that, in the end, it is "a meditation on how one chooses to inhabit the world, or to become absent from it.".
- Chico Carlo: This book contains 17 semi-autobiographical stories about its author, Juana de Ibarbourou, as a child. I always liked the way that it shows this little girl feeling pride, rage, and sadness in ways that both feel childish and adult-like. There isn't a translated version, but I just wanted to include it.
