"So he had rationalized the situation so that he was in control of it - in control of the experience... Well, naturally he had that ability, it was the ability of the successful: to reseat themselves, no matter where they were, in a place of power."

hi! regarding that ''get more out of life, read a fucked up book'' post you reblogged, could you please give some recommendations for fucked up books?

Fucked up books I've read and would recommend:

A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara*

Animal by Lisa Taddeo**

Bunny by Mona Award

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado**

Hex by Rebecca Dinerstein Knight**

I Fear My Pain Interests You by Stephanie La Cava

Insatiable by Daisy Buchanan

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind**

Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

The Harpy by Megan Hunter

Vladimir by Julia May Jones**

White Oleander by Janet Fitch

Fucked up books I've read and would not recommend:

American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis. I've read it twice and found it incredibly boring, but that may say more about me than it does about the book.

#* I almost can't in good conscience be the one to recommend this to anyone. #** Low on the fucked up scale but on there. #I have many probable fucked up books on my TBR but I will have to read them before I can confirm that they are indeed fucked up. #books

Hi! I saw your post around here where you mentioned Ali Hazelwood, and I've been devouring her stories lately. Since I trust your judgment more than my own (that A level in literature really shows), I was wondering if you could recommend other stories you might have enjoyed? They don't have to be in a STEM setting, nor necessarily romances (although those are very welcome). Thank you so much <3

Hello! Yes of course!!

For books that remind me of ‘One Day’ (and therefore encapsulate the vibe I was going for in this fic). Heavy on themes of intimate relationships between two people, nostalgia, time and growing up.

‘This Time Tomorrow’ by Emma Straub: gorgeous insight into getting older and a push for change, explores the relationship between a father and daughter beautifully

‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow’ by Gabrielle Zevin: masterful characters and structure. Two friends work as video game designers. The publisher’s tagline is brilliant: ‘It’s not a romance, but it is about love.’

‘Amy & Isabelle’ by Elizabeth Strout: one of those books I know I’ll appreciate even more when I get older. Mother and daughter relationship: if you resonated by Greta Gerwig’s ‘Ladybird’, you’ll love this one.

‘The Time Traveller’s Wife’ by Audrey Niffenegger: It’s famous for a reason. The most original love story I’ve ever read and with such genius and tender plotting that demands rereading.

‘Normal People’ by Sally Rooney: melancholic and bittersweet (aka it was the ‘One Day’ that I didn’t like quite as much as ‘One Day’ but also guys it’s a good book c’mon let’s be fr here)

Romances I’ve enjoyed (these are probably very popular but there are so many shite ones that I’ll vouch for these):

Ali Hazelwood books. I am so adamant that this woman is an absolute legend and her books only get better. Loved her most recent (‘Love, Theoretically’), it’s too fun.

‘Book Lovers’ by Emily Henry. Emily Henry loml.

‘Love and Other Words’ by Christina Lauren: ICONIC friends-to-lovers

For STEM-y books I enjoyed, I liked:

‘Lessons in Chemistry’ by Bonnie Garmus: the main character is absolutely brilliant and I’m the world’s most devout feminist so of course I devoured this book. (Although constantly calling table salt NaCl did annoy me juuust a little. Yes salt is primarily composed of sodium chloride but it’s not purified so calling it NaCl is just a bit silly)

‘The Code Breaker’ by Walter Isaacson: non-fiction (gasp!) but I find CRISPR so interesting. Biography about Jennifer Doudna, the Nobel Prize winner who essentially transformed the world of genetic engineering.

Miscellaneous books I’ve enjoyed:

‘Tender is the Flesh’ by Agustina Bazterrica: chilling dystopia, excellent narration from perspective character, so disgusting and gory

‘Fingersmith’ by Sarah Waters: not usually a fan of historical fiction but Sarah Waters is the loml, brilliant plotting, crime fiction

‘Vladimir’ by Julia May Jones: devoured it in a day. Dark and sensual, with such a sharply-characterised perspective character.

‘The Charioteer’ by Mary Renault: one of the first books to write an unapologetically positive portrayal of homosexuality. Essential reading for any lgbt+ person who likes reading, imo: stands on the same level as ‘Giovanni’s Room’ or… literally any Sarah Waters novel. I read it for background research on a far-off WW2 fic I want to write but ended up loving it. Really sweet.

Huzzah I hope this is up to scratch <3

#list of books i finished this year!!! #g talks #books #favs are bolded #but really there’s only a few i wouldn’t recommend

[frannyzooey]

“If I didn’t tell anybody about certain things in my life (notably the things that I would most like to divulge) then, like the men who hold themselves back from orgasm to preserve their life force, I would accumulate some inexplicable strength.”

Vladimir, Julia May Jones

#quotes

[julictcapulet]

1, 13!

1. How many books did you read this year?

I read 55 books this year <3

13. What were your least favorite books of the year?

Oh god, there were actually a lot :/ Vladimir by Julia May Jones, Tender Is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica, Girls Can Kiss Now by Jill Gutowitz, The Pisces, Milk Fed, and So Sad Today by Melissa Broder, and by far the absolute worst book I read this year was Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh.

end-of-year book asks!

#answered #beholdingslut #i'm actually so upset i didn't like melissa broder or ottessa moshfegh i thought they were gonna be favorites of mine :( #books

[goncharovpussy]

1, 3, 9 & 12 for the end of year book ask? hope u r having a good one !

How many books did you read this year?

thirty one! and i DNFed twenty one.

3. What were your top five books of the year?

in no particular order:

my sister, the serial killer by oyinkan braithwaite is so good at being itself. idk how else to put it-- it's a book with a very specific concept and it delivers. it's tight and tense and coheres and there is one last twist of the knife at the end!

the chosen and the beautiful gave me a book hangover... i'd like all book romances to be like this please. the great gatsby is maybe one of my favorite classics (i kinda feel like if you read it, you got the gist of american literature) and TCATB is so good, both as an adaption and as a whole new story. #justiceforjordanbaker

normal people by sally rooney. sometimes things get recommended so much because they're actually good! the relationship is so natural and intimate and somehow familiar

tender is the flesh by agustina bazterrica. you read this book (cannibalistic horror dystopia) and you never want to eat again. im like a parasocial stan with this book, like no you guys, she's just misunderstood, go brush up on her theory (argentinian history, specifically that of the military dictatorship of the 70s) and you'll gettt itttt

vladimir by julia may jones. sexy. simple. slow. confusing. there is a significant amount of fire, prescription medication, and morally ? older women representation in this book.

9. Did you get into any new genres?

yes! went on a bit of a mission to find a romance book i like. romantic comedy by curtis sittenfeld was it for me! very good.

12. Any books that disappointed you?

YES lol. i am a woman of discerning taste and many assigned readings. for the sake of brevity i'll exclude any disappointing books that were english major assignments. i'm also going to exclude any that i actually DNFed.

so the books i finished this year but did not enjoy were: cover story by susan rigetti, self care by leigh stein, and virtue by hermione hoby.

“Vladimir,” Julia May Jones: Good professors gone bad in a shifting cultural landscape and a moral universe that, like a repeated word, blurs in meaning the more you think about it. This was a great read on multiple levels, from the overarching themes, to the fast-paced and sexually charged plot, to the obvious care Jones gives each sentence. No spoilers, but stick around for an ending you did not see coming. #booklovers #book #bookstagram @juliamaynot #vladimir https://www.instagram.com/p/CgmX9YSuYH4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kidnapping Can Be Something so Personal Actually: Vladimir by Julia May Jones

Kidnapping Can Be Something so Personal Actually: Vladimir by Julia May Jones

Goodreads blurb: “When I was a child, I loved old men, and I could tell that they also loved me.”And so we are introduced to our deliciously incisive narrator: a popular English professor whose charismatic husband at the same small liberal arts college is under investigation for his inappropriate relationships with his former students. The couple have long had a mutual understanding when it comes…
