Greetings from Tartarus,

I would love to hear about books that have resonated with you, inspired you, made you laugh, etc. I especially like short stories.

Some of my favorite include:

Stopping for strangers by Daniel Griffin
This is how by Augusten Burroughs
And of course... The myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

Hi there!

I'm fascinated with mental illness memoirs. Some of my favorites are "Wasted" and "Madness: A Bipolar Life," both by Marya Hornbacher.

Some of my favourites

All my friends are superheroes by Andrew Kaufman
Enduring Love by Ian Mcewan
Atonement by Ian Mcewan
It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini
Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger (anything by Salinger is great)
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy is the most beautiful and amazing story I've ever read

Hope this helps. I need new reading material too

Xx

One book that I recently read and keep thinking about was The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. When I try to describe it, I can't do it justice, but it was pretty special to me.
