Any good books you’ve read lately? Like, anything with even the veil of being politically agnostic (hexbear.net)

I love books recommended on here but unless I specify you mfs will recommend theory. You all read anything captivating without overt political themes?

A confederacy of dunces. Outside of catch-22, it's maybe the best satire book ever written. Highly recommend the barrett whitener audiobook.

Imagine having Catch-22 as one's debut novel. At least Heller had a sense of humour about never again reaching such a height.

For sure lol, I don't know how I'd recover from that.
