I freakin' hate wasting my time on bad books when there are so many great books to read. Yet I've picked up a few stinkers lately. So let's share. Here are a few I've read in the last couple of years that I wish I could read again for the first time.
Title. Author. Genre. Commentary.
Title. Author. Genre. Commentary.
- Americanah. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Fiction. I love Adichie's books which generally center on Nigeria. This one crosses over covering Nigeria and America and an immigrant's view of race relations. Fantastic.
- Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki. Haruki Murakami. Fiction. Be warned that this is a bit long and could have gone at a faster pace, but was a generally fun, fascinating, fantastical journey.
- Lexicon. Max Barry. Fantasy. Great fun read you don't want to put down.
- A Dog's Purpose. W Bruce Cameron. Fiction. If you love dogs, you'll love this. Perfect touching fiction told from the perspective of man's (and woman's) best friend.
- Ready Player One. Ernest Cline. Science Fiction. If you love eighties culture - movies, TV, music, video games - you'll love this nostalgic romp. Read it quick before they make the movie.
