NIGHTLY READING THREAD: Welcome to Edition #83 of #GMGReads. Every night through this (increasingly) weird (and sad) time, I'm tweeting out a list of my five favorite books around a general theme—and a link to an indie bookstore where you can order them online....
It's been a long week, so I wanted to suggest some relatively easy reading: Tonight's theme is small classics—quick novels that will stick with you for a long time, available from @magersandquinn in Minneapolis and @MahoganyBooks in DC....
1) Robertson Davies' small novel FIFTH BUSINESS is just a transformative reading experience, a recommendation to me years ago originally from @nicco and one that launched me on a hungry quest to read the rest of Davies: magersandquinn.com/product_info?p…
2) What can one say about Zora Neale Hurston's THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD other than you'll never forget reading it? mahoganybooks.com/9780061120060
3) French writer Michel Houellebecq imagines in his controversial novel SUBMISSION a Muslim victory in the 2022 French presidential election and all that unfolds after: magersandquinn.com/product_info?p…
4) I don't read a ton of magical realism, but Ismael Reed's novel FLIGHT TO CANADA about the Civil War mixes up America's past and present in a wild and memorable story: magersandquinn.com/product_info?p…
5) It's famous as a Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle movie, but Walter Mosley's DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS is an excellent dive into 1940s Watts: mahoganybooks.com/9780743451796
