Top 20 Books I Read in 2015

Reviews21

by far the most terrifying book I have ever read House of Leaves is terrifying because it's a terrifying experience it's not just a story that it's scary but trust me the story is very scary

amazing short story collection one of the best I've read in recent years some stories are more experimental and post-postmodern some stories are straighter and like much more heartfelt and rewarding in general this book mixes weird with normal and straight beautifully and it's really addictive as a read and very rewarding

Kingdom comeJ.G. Ballard
Mixed

to me it feels much less like a novel of ideas in kingdom come sometimes characters really feel kind of weird because they don't act or talk like normal people at all they talk more like megaphones for the offer to pass is like philosophical or political views on a certain topic that said they are both great books really

Numero ZeroUmberto Eco
Loved it

in a new road 0 by eco we mostly talk about how Italians cope with historical traumas and how the news are manipulated in the country both these books are awesome reads

SwagElmore Leonard
Loved it

which is really a fiction God an awesome hard-boiled crime novel with amazing main characters a situation that gets keeps getting worse and worse until you know something very bad is going to happen really addictive

Telegraph AvenueMichael Chabon
Loved it

really an awesome reading to me it's by far the book in which you wrote better in which his style emerged as brilliantly as possible also both because of its eccentric style and because of the quirky names that are scattered all over the place

The ChrysalidsJohn Wyndham
Loved it

an amazing post-apocalyptic novel the post apocalypse is Windham specialty here though like the grimness of this situation or the horror of it all it's left aside in order to focus on the rebuilding of the new world

The second scrollA.M. Klein
Loved it

which is a book with some nuances of modernism not a very widely known book but a really good one a very haunting one about the situation of Jewish people in Europe and in the world at the end of world war ii
