looking to expand my horizons. My last 2 books: the power of introverts and the subtle art of not giving a f*ck.

"Venomous Lumpsucker" by Ned Beauman was good. The writing style reminded me of Weir a bit.

"The Reformatory" by Tananarive Due was also pretty good.

Very different books from each other. Neither are completely without flaw, but both books were a solid B+.

Ive never read a bad Agatha Christie book.

My favorite book is "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole, and his novella "Neon Bible" was also very good.

"The Dog Stars" by Peter Heller was good.

"Godshot" by Chelsea Bieker was very good.
