Hellooo! Do you happen to know some book recs by our beloved dork aka jude law? :) Good night!
His favorite author is Iris Murdoch, so he’d recommend any of her books but especially ‘The Sea, The Sea’.
Furthermore, he recommended:
‘The Hobbit’ by J. R. R. Tolkien
‘The Indian In The Cupboard’ by Lynne Reid Banks
‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
‘Beware of Pity’ and ‘Chess Story’ by Stefan Zweig
‘Look Homeward Angel’ by Thomas Wolfe
‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’ by Brian Selznick
every ‘Sherlock Holmes’ story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as his other work
the ‘Harry Potter’ books by J. K. Rowling
‘Emil and the Detectives’ by Erich Kästner
‘Cold Mountain’ by Charles Frazier.
‘The Songlines’ by Bruce Chatwin
‘Red Badge of Courage’by Stephen Crane
‘The Great Gatsby’ and ‘Tender is the Night’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald
‘The Sun Also Rises‘ by Ernest Hemingway
everything by Shakespeare, especially ‘Hamlet’
Alexander McCall Smith’s books for children
‘A Song of Ice and Fire‘ by George R. R. Martin
‘Moby-Dick’ by Herman Melville
‘Golden Hill’ by Francis Spufford
‘The Heart Of Darkness’ by Joseph Conrad
As well asCharles Schultz’ ‘Peanuts’, the comic-books ‘Watchmen’, ‘Parallax’, ‘Johnny Nemo’ and the graphic novel ‘From Hell’.
He also loves the poem ‘And the wave sings because it is moving’by Philip Larkin.
Authors he recommended, without naming a specific book, include: Søren Kierkegaard, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Albert Camus, Walt Whitman,Allen Ginsberg and Salman Rushdie.
Some of it is literature for children because he either read it to his kids and fell in love with it or is still in love with it since he was a child.The list is certainly incomplete, by the way, because I honestly cannot keep track with his recommendations. He reads like four (4) books at the same time usually.
