I love reading about these tiny publishers and indie labels, where the focus gets put back on the artists’s work rather than being hyper-focussed on profits. Super admirable 🙌

Same! High Fidelity is an obvious one as well :)

Interesting, I remember really liking Fathers and Sons. Is the reference to this book obvious? Or how does that get into play?

The Elder (and Poetic) Edda. Beowulf fits this as well, probably.

Master Handbook of Acoustics—lives up to its name.

Never heard of the writer, this book, or the person reviewing it. This review is awesome though 😁

Wheel of Time! I’m nearing the end of book three. At this pace I’ll be done with the series in about 5 years 😅

It will take a while for the app to ‘climb’ the search result ranks (doesn’t help that ‘wefwef’ was a lot more unique of a name than Voyager, but we’ll get there 💪).

East of Eden, hands down. That said, it’s hard to explain why (a short description of this book will always sound dull and boring)—I suppose it’s the character development. It’s truly something else.

Anna Karenina, but not because of Anna (she’s kind of a dickhead); because of Levin. So good.

Infinite Jest as well. I just don’t get it 🤷‍♂️ I don’t get the hype, or the humor, or the plot—I feel I’m missing something in order to ‘get’ this book.
