“The Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro
Sometimes a “classic” is only a classic because uptight literary snobs have decreed it so. Other times, a novel becomes a classic because it tells a universal story that manages to be both readable and universally relatable. “The Remains of the Day” is the latter.
“Pandemonium” by Christophe Bec and Stefano Raffaele
A fun dark read that’s just long enough to be satisfying without overstaying its welcome.
“City of Thieves” by David Benioff
I went into this City of Thieves blind, not knowing what to expect.

However, there was something about it stopping clicking with me as well as I thought it should have.
