Rec | LIBRA - DON DELILLO

Rec'd on 📖 6/11: ONE (1) OF YOUR FAVORITE BOOKS

A very recent read for me but incredibly captivating. The subject is of course interesting enough on it's own but DeLillo just seemingly perfected suspense and timing with this novel. Every narrative overlaps just where it should and nothing seems misplaced. Truly a masterpiece of American writing

noir

so damn good. currently reading the lady in the lake and man it rips. I love the sense of humor, the descriptions , the storytellin. read some of James Cain earlier this year. even though these works are almost a century old the themes feel v relevant & human.

night film by marisha pessl

READ THIS BOOK!!! a disgraced journalist investigates a reclusive film director after the director's daughter is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in nyc under mysterious circumstances. whatever you think it's gonna be like based on that description, think again. this book blossoms and metamorphosizes into so many different things and somehow manages to ace every single one. i loved it so much that i was making myself only read ONE PAGE A DAY to make it last longer. 600 pages but feels so much shorter. and the best part? it's incredibly immersive, in part because the author utilizes a ton of multimodal aspects to make it more realistic. things like psych ward files, police reports, websites-- pic attached is an example. it's the only book i've ever read that includes such multimodal aspects in a way that feels INCREDIBLY true to life-- i regularly forgot i was reading fiction and started to look up the director's films to add to my watchlist. SO GOOD, read it now!!!

Zodiac

I don’t read as much as I should, but I bought the Zodiac book by Robert Graysmith a while back and recently during this latest lockdown I have been making my way through that. True crime is lame as hell, and does nothing for me but this is interesting. And dark AF!David Fincher made a film a few years back aswell tarring the god Jake Gyllenhall, aswell as a host of other big names, which I would also thoroughly recommend. Its kinda longer than anything I would normally choose to watch these days, but my attention span lasted which means its worth it.
