Adding some words here just in case the algorithm cares, including booktube, booktok, reading, bookworm, book haul, book reviews, and bookish. Not sure if this makes a difference but I gotta work with what I got.

I've been eyeing Ted Chiang's books for a while

[@vellichor_ventures]

I can’t recommend them highly enough. Cream of the crop.

Try nine stories by salinger, in our time by hemingway, and cloud atlas by mitchell. Labyrinths was the only one ive heard of from this video! Borges also wrote Ficciones, try that maybe.

Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite movies! The book was a rough read. His writing style gets on my nerve sometimes. Love/hate Number9 Dream.

I also love short stories. "Bloodchild and Other Stories" by Octavia E. Butler is my favorite collection. From "Labyrinths" I only read the two short stories that inspiread Susanna Clarke to write my favorite book of all times "Piranesi". Those short stories are "The House of Asterion" and "The Library of Babel".

I’ve never read any Octavia Butler! Been on my list for a while.
