Rec | VITA NOSTRA

📚

I never see this recd and its incredible — literally had me holed up in my room reading for like 2 days. some of the best sci-fi I’ve read in recent memory, did really well critically, it’s a dark academia situation (which is why I’m surprised it didn’t ever blow up on TikTok), it’s by a Ukrainian husband and wife, AND the third book in the trilogy (english translation) comes out in June so now is THE time to start

Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut

So so good, not as depressing as it sounds by the title lol. Explores war but in a sci-fi way ig. Alternatively, Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer was a pretty quick read. Its the first book of a series and I think exists in a wider universe by Vandermeer. It has an unreliable narrator who observes like freaky fucked up nature
