Can I nominate Small Gods? It's part of the Discworld series and one of the few standalone works in the series - the general consensus seems to be that the first few books are actually a bad place to start since the style shifts a few books in, so I feel like this would be the best option. Sure, yo...

Chose your favorite two albums from each group of three! You have exactly seven days (January 8th) from the time of this post!

Shouldn't this say songs instead of albums unless I'm missing something.

Finally got around to finishing The Sun Also Rises, most of what I thought about the book is similar to what BleuPanda said. I've read Hemingway before, in my freshman year of high school I read The Old Man and the Sea outside of thinking the book was boring I don't remember much about it. The Sun A...

We now move into the discussion of Chapters XIII-XVII.

Here's my 2020 wrapped. Didn't think that I really listened to Dragula that much. I also rediscovered Achtung Baby earlier this year and my listening to that album is probably what put U2 into my top 5 artists.

Finally finished The Road. After reading this I don't get the hype for this book at all. It would've been better if it was just a short story. The story really drags out with almost no substance. Just the same scenarios about searching for things over and over again.
