Aw, hell no! Even bleaker than Thomas Hardy novels. This book is reverse Prozac.

English teacher…I teach this in my Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic Lit class. Super powerful. One of my 20 books also…

Care to share the reading list?

Hey Chris. It’s a semester-long course that’s run for a few years. We typically cover 3 books and other supplemental material. Some books I’ve taught:

The Road
Parable of the Sower
Handmaid’s Tale
The Leftovers
Station Eleven (along with HBO series)
Never Let Me Go
Hunger Games

This one feels like my life. My future life.

This book messed me up.

Loved that book

Definitely!

Glad I read it before I knew he was seducing a teen when he wrote it.

Made the mistake of reading this book a month after my first kid was born. Holy crap did I regret THAT timing.

Great book and great film. It taught me the importance of having plenty of ammo.

Heart wrenching book

nettlesomeone.bsky.social•89 days ago

Possibly the best horror novel ever written. No question it's in the top 3.

bigbadbeav.bsky.social•89 days ago

Wow, this one destroyed me.

joncobeard.bsky.social•89 days ago

This is the first book that I had to stop reading. First book that was so full of depressing actions that I couldn’t continue. I kept picking it back up looking for hope only to be met with more continued awfulness. I guess the end allowed for a bit but - Holy. Shit.

"He is coming to steal my eyes. To seal my mouth with dirt."

I've repeated that at least once every workout since I read it.

Glad I was home when I watched the movie, ugly cry.
