Why this book?
Seriously underrated. A brilliant exploration of AI, gender, and colonization.
#1 of 6 in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
1979 • 3,622 Readers • 215 pages • 4.2
Why this book?
One of the most formative books I’ve ever read. One that I still quote on the daily. Absurd, clever, and just perfect.
Why this book?
This is the piece Jemisin will be remembered for. Her world building is unparalleled and her exploration of race and oppression through a fantastical lens is a masterclass.
#1-3 of 3 in The Lord of the Rings
1954 • 1,570 Readers • 1,178 pages • 4.5
Why this book?
Because these books started it all. Without them, I wouldn’t have any of my other favorites.
Why this book?
My favorite road trip and the best use of the “gods walk among us” trope that I know.
