Black Cake was indeed a good family saga. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has a bit of a slow start but then it gets really intense and yes, some of it is rough reading. But a great thriller! The Road is a modern classic, an apocalyptic must read and the bleakest book I've ever read!

I miss thrifting books though it is a hit or miss! But I know what you mean about spending $$$ on books so I've just always waited until it's available in the library

I'm a big library gal as well! But I do love the satisfaction of a good thrift find :)

Usually I know about the books I'm buying beforehand. I read a lot of philosophy, and so I read up on the philosophers and their thought before I buy their work. I don't really have to worry about spoilers, lol. I also read mostly classics, and I can typically trust the quality. A lot of my books I buy off Amazon, because there's not really a bookstore around me, none that have what I'm looking for.
I did go to a used bookstore recently. I bought another copy of Moby Dick, Walden by Thoreau, and some writings from Kierkegaard. Good stuff. Lol.

Hahah no spoilers with philosophy books, huh? Sounds like you are very well-read. Hoping I can read some more classics this year, if you have any that you'd recommend

[@scoutdarpy4465]

@@mansparekh Sorry for the late reply. Classics to recommend? From antiquity I'd definitely recommend Homer - The Iliad or the Odyssey; which I'd say go with the Fagle translation for English. For something a bit more modern I'd recommend East of Eden by John Steinbeck. If you want a challenge, I'd go with Paradise Lost by John Milton.
