I'm quite unsettled by the ending.

Sounds like my kind of book!

I've read it, but it's been years, so I don't remember much of the details.

Kokain by Lasse Werup (Swedish, not translated IFAIK).
Subtitle reads (my translation) The drug [Cocaine] that got the middle class into doing drugs, and made countries fall apart.

Ghost Of Chance, by William S. Burroughs.

Novella dealing with everything from a pirate captain who fights the power in Madagascar, including how lemurs - both real and fanciful - are endangered. Oh, and how we're all doomed to die from a variety of viruses, ranging from the Christ complex, to living hairs that engulf the human body, to red spiders that cause terminal orgasm. Actually, an enjoyable, thought provoking book.

Songs Of A Dead Dreamer And Grimscribe, by Thomas Ligotti.

Father's Day present to me. Anthology by the man who could be described as the offspring of H.P. Lovecraft and Franz Kafka. So far, it's wonderfully disturbing and original.

It's been a few years since I read that one, I don't remember the ending.

I'm reading the murderbot diaries, as I can get them from the library (which is open again!).

Five hundred stars for this book!!

Psychological realism at its finest, with themes reminding me of Villette, Bleak House, Mary Barton, To Kill A Mockingbird, Sister Carrie, Middlemarch, and a hint of Wuthering Heights.

My jaw is on the floor.
