Books I've Read
Books with distinctive new ideas, fresh settings •ᴗ• and original concepts; seasoned writing and good storytelling. I personally bought every chapter. This also includes pioneering works of certain genres. Although some aspects may seem clichéd by today's standards, they are still well worth collecting as nostalgic reads. Updated irregularly. If there are books I particularly dislike, I may list them as well, partly as a warning to fellow readers.

Some books are wonderfully written but hardly known, buried in the endless sea of novels. It's a real shame. This list is dedicated to finding excellent stories across all kinds of genres. I carefully select books I enjoy and share what I consider classics with more readers. Writing a book isn't easy. If there's room, I'll add new books that authors recommend themselves. Once the list is full, I'll remove books previously added from reader comments and make room for new self-recommendations. Us
