Gormenghast, Mervyn Peake
J R, William Gaddis
Gravity’s Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon
Ulysses, James Joyce
PopCo, Scarlett Thomas
The Manuscript Found in Saragossa, Jan Potocki
Pattern Recognition, William Gibson

Boy am I FASCINATING or what

Instead of #sevenbooks to get to know me, what about #sevenpoems? Do we do that here?

1. The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
2. Renascence by Edna St. Vincent Millay
3. Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson
4. Ozymandias by P.B. Shelley
5. The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
6. Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson
7. The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot

Quite a predictable list, but these are the ones that made me fall in love with poetry. I have most of these memorized (i.e., not the Waste Land)

Seven books (novels) to get to know me:

1. Little, Big by John Crowley
2. I, Claudius by Robert Graves
3. The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
4. Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
5. The Lord of the Rings
6. The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe
7. The Stone and the Flute by Hans Bemmann

It seems this is a thing #sevenbooks to get to know me, in no particular order:

1. The Secret of Moon Castle by Enid Blyton
2. Arabian Sands by Wilfred Thesinger
3. The Crossway by Guy Stag
4. The Places in Between by Rory Stewart
5. (A slight cheat) The Lymond Series by Dorothy Dunnett
6. The City and The City by China Mieville
7. Ottolenghi by Yottam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi.

Seven books to get to know me:

Le Petit Prince by Antoine de St Exupery
The Triggering Town by Richard Hugo
A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Leguin
Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
Why We Run by Bernd Heinrich
A History of God by Karen Armstrong
Watership Down by Richard Adams

All of those books have been fairly influential upon where I am now in my thoughts and life. I very much feel that Le Petit Prince is an allegory of #neurodivergence in an nt world.
