literally not a single soul asked

but, i'm going to share anyway. here are my favorite reads this year in no particular order:

Fiction - Novels

Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" (Honestly, a masterpiece. I can't wait to devour his entire library. Read it. No notes.)

Leo Tolstoy's "Ana Karenina" (If you're looking for your next existential crisis, here ya go.)

Donna Tartt's "The Secret History" (I know I'm super late reading this and the whole world has already been in love with it for ages, now I finally know why.)

Bram Stoker's "Dracula" (In all fairness, this is on my list every year).

Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein" (This is also always on my list, idec. Shelly's monster may teach you a bit about being human.)

Stephen's Fry's "Mythos" (Honestly, just a super fun read. Really good starting point if you're a budding Hellenic or into ancient Greek mythology, in my opinion. As long as you take it as a starting off point for further research and understand that he has put it together to be entertaining.)

Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" (You will never love a book so much where 97% of the characters and their actions are entirely insufferable. You might wonder why you began, but won't be able to stop and will be grateful that you didn't. Handsomely and meticulously written, as well.)

Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian" (Historians, anthropologists, romance, and vampires. Chef's kiss.)

Madeline Miller's "Circe" (I JUST LOVE IT OKAY)

Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" (I will never take criticism about this book. No notes, lmao.)

Fiction - Novellas

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwitch Horror"

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Lost City"

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Festival"

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's "Carmilla"

Aristophanes' "Lysistrata" (Every moment of this will have you saying what the actual fuck lmao)

Non-Fiction

Viktor Frankl's "A Man's Search For Meaning" (Just saying, this is written by a Holocaust survivor who is also a psychologist. There are graphic depictions of his sufferings. Major trigger warnings and all that - but, I still highly recommend as this is a really life changing book. His message and eloquence touched me in an indescribable way.)

Walter Burkett's "Greek Religion: Archaic and Classical" (Really, I recommend this as required reading to all Hellenics and those interested in ancient Greek religion.)

Dorsey Armstrong's audiobook, "Medieval Myths & Mysteries"

Lacy Collison-Morley's "Greek and Roman Ghost Stories"

Anne Baring and Jules Cashford's "Myth of the Goddess: An Evolution of an Image"

Estelle B. Freedman's "The Essential Feminist Reader"

Alexandra Kollontai's "The Autobiography of a Sexually Emancipated Communist Woman"

Bernadotte Perrin's Translation of Plutarch's "The Parallel Lives" (Juicy Roman drama).

Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations"

Robert Graves' Translation of Suetonius' "The 12 Caesars" (Juicy Roman tea, with a hint of bias though)

Books I Read in 2022: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms that never were and never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who never saw what could have been…

Books of 2022

Not including DNFs.

“The Authentic William James” by Stephen Gallagher - a British show cowboy is accused of setting a theater fire that killed a German noble. Sebastian Becker, special investigator for the British Crown, must find the accused so he can be scapegoated before rumors of assassination spark a pan-European war. Along the way, Sebastian finds that the accused man’s daughter has been kidnapped by another, rather more authentic stage cowboy. This book has an awful lot, folks: murder, Theatre, cowboys, turn-of-the-century Hollywood, labor rights, addiction, insane asylums, and more! Fans of “Murder with the Devil and Friends” will probably enjoy this one (I did). Recommended.

“The Amulet of Samarkand” by Jonathan Stroud (reread) - A young magician in the heart of the British Empire summons a djinni to steal an artifact from the man who humiliated him, and fucks it up worse than any other protagonist I’ve ever read. The story is half told from his perspective, and half told from the perspective of the snarky, self-aggrandizing djinni whom he has enslaved to carry out the theft. Mr. Stroud did not pull his punches with this one, I tell you what. Still, it works infinitely better as part of a trilogy than on its own, maybe more than any other Book One I’ve read. Recommended.

“The Golem’s Eye” by Jonathan Stroud (reread) - MR. STROUD DID NOT PULL HIS PUNCHES WITH THIS ONE, I TELL YOU WHAT. Our young magician from the last book continues fucking things up, but this time while the djinni ruthlessly roasts him for his fashion sense while the two of them try to get to the bottom of a series of mysterious break-ins. We also get to spend some time with our third protagonist, a young woman who has a resilience to magic and is part of a small Resistance, whose goal is to break the stranglehold the magicians have on the government. Boy, if you thought Book 1 was scathingly critical of empires and those who run them, Book 2 doubles down on it hard. Chillingly relevant, despite being written in 2004. Stroud also does a great job writing a protagonist who exhibits the very real disease of being 14. Recommended. (Bonus points for correctly attributing golems to Jewish tradition!)

“Ptolemy’s Gate” by Jonathan Stroud (reread) - MR. STROUD DID NOT COME TO FUCK AROUND, GODDAMN. The thrilling conclusion to the Bartimaeus trilogy, and it really delivers on every front. No setup goes without payoff. Honestly, it feels like these 3 books are really just one very long book, because details from Book 1 and Book 2 come back with real significance, little fanfare, and a hell of a lot of momentum. I really fucking love this series, and this book drives home why. Recommended.

“How to be an Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi - Dr. Kendi defines racism, antiracism, and many related terms and intersections, goes through the origins and history of racism as well as his own journey from being raised in a racist world to choosing to be antiracist. A greatly clarifying and galvanizing read, at least for me. Dense at times, but well worth slowing down for. Recommended.

“Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Vol 2” by MXTX - Things get much worse but also much gayer for our fast-talking protagonist - although really the vast majority of this book is about side-stories that happened many years in the past. The side-stories are really good though, and add to the narrative tension rather than distracting from it. I really do think this series (and probably all MXTX novels) could be used as a masterclass in non-linear storytelling. Recommended.

“Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix” (vol. 1) by Shiro Amano - An abridged version of the story of KH1 told in graphic novel format: kid’s world is swallowed by darkness, he gets separated from his two friends, he somehow acquires a magic key-sword that lets him fight the creatures of darkness, he goes on a quest to find his friends and ends up saving a bunch of Disney worlds along the way. It’s got some interesting little tidbits and alternate translations (and very, very cute art), so I certainly enjoyed it. Recommended if you’re already a KH fan or if you want to get the basic story without playing several hundred hours of games or watching a few dozen hours of cutscenes.

“Heaven Official’s Blessing: Vol 2” by MXTX - The plot thickens and things get worse for the protagonist (and isn't that just a summary of all MXTX novels?). I had some trouble with keeping all the names straight in this one because everyone has three names and it's a little trickier when I don't have a face to pin them all to, but it's still a good read. You can feel the plot putting on weight like a teenager getting ready for a growth spurt. Plus there's a really fun scene in a gambling den that is simultaneously the most chaste and the dirtiest thing I've ever read in published fiction. Recommended.

“Dracula” by Bram Stoker (reread, via Dracula Daily) - A fresh methodology on the old classic. I'd forgotten some of the twists and turns since I read this book back in high school, and the "daily" format is something I'd long wanted to engage in (i.e., reading a book that has a set timeline according to that timeline). The community of memes and analyses was a great joy to partake in, too. Recommended, particularly via Dracula Daily (there's always next year!)

"Dreadnought" by April Daniels - A teenage trans girl inherits a superhero mantle that not only gives her superpowers, but the body she's always wanted. This causes a tremendous amount of problems and immediately flings her into a mire of political turmoil while having to navigate high school and an abusive father. This is a book that knows its stuff back to front and remixes it adeptly. Recommended, but with trigger warnings for abuse, transphobia, and some fairly disturbing gore (and that's coming from me).

"Heaven Official's Blessing: Vol 3" by MXTX - The plot thickens, and things get worse for the protagonist. No, I mean really, REALLY worse. But there's also a damn good kiss in there, and plenty of other fun stuff to keep it from being oppressively grim. Recommended.

"Ancillary Justice" by Ann Leckie - A fragment of a ship's AI, confined to a human body, seeks revenge for the murder of her favorite lieutenant. Unfortunately, the person she's seeking vengeance against happens to be the emperor of a massive, millennia-old space empire, whose consciousness occupies a thousand bodies. A sedately paced, intricately built story about love and imperialism and culture and war and music. If you like Robots With Feelings, complex political dramas, or conlangs, this book is for you. Recommended.

"Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Vol 3" by MXTX - This one is primarily flashback, although not all the same flashback (have I mentioned the whole "masterclass in nonlinear storytelling" thing yet?) and stitched together in a way that flows naturally and keeps you reading to the very end. Also, a damn good kiss in there (vol 3 seems to be the magic number for that). But also also, some really fucking horrifying gore, to the point that I went: "who looked at this and decided they could make a show that got past the censors?" I mean, they were right, whoever they were, they managed it and "The Untamed" kicked ass, but I have to wonder what kind of person rolled up their sleeves to do it. Recommended.

"The Long Earth" by Stephen Baxter and Terry Pratchett - The course of human history is forever changed when a rogue scientist releases the designs for a device that allows people to step to parallel Earths, all of which seem to be uninhabited. A young man named Joshua, able to step without the aid of a device, is recruited by an artificial intelligence to go on an expedition to find what's at the end of the seemingly infinite stack of Earths. An interesting read with a lot of cool speculation about alternate Earths and some very grounded and unfortunately relevant observations on the nature of humanity. It doesn't read like a Pratchett, although it has some very Pratchett-esque concepts in it. I liked it okay, but not enough to particularly want to read any of the sequels.

"Moving Pictures" by Terry Pratchett (reread) - The wild ideas of Holy Wood are escaping into the Discworld and causing hauntingly familiar scenes to play out in a little spit of desert by the sea - but anywhere where Things That Don't Exist can become Things That Do Exist, there will be Things That Want To Exist trying to come through.... Dryly funny as standard for Pratchett, and probably at least a quarter written just to see how many film references he could upend in one go. Featuring (what I think are) the first appearances of Gaspode The Wonder Dog and Archchancellor Munstrum Ridcully. Recommended.

"Fadeout" by Joseph Hanson - Dave Brandstetter, an insurance investigator who is "contentedly gay," investigates the mysterious disappearance of a small-town entertainer who hit the big time. Atmospheric, noir-adjacent, and pleasantly twisty, this mystery also benefits from half the cast being queer. It would be excellent if written today, and considering that it was written in the sixties, it's in a league of its own. Recommended.

"Are Prisons Obsolete?" by Angela Davis - A novelette-length essay on the origins, consequences, and possible alternatives to the prison-industrial complex, as well as a litany of reasons why it's imperative for the health of our society that the carceral state be dismantled. Thought-provoking and perspective-shifting in many ways. Recommended.

"Station Eternity" by Mur Lafferty - Mallory Viridian seems to constantly be followed by murders - and constantly finds herself solving them, too. She thought escaping Earth to a sentient space station would free her from her 'curse,' but, whoops, it doesn't. Featuring multiple sentient alien species, military interferism plots, eighty percent of a romance, and several murder cases across space and time, this felt like a book trying to do too many things at once, each interfering with the execution of the others. The detective story got lost in the space station story, and the space station story suffered from having to serve a detective story. The dialogue and the plot both clunked audibly at times, although the third act featured a clever twist and a fairly satisfying finale. The book wasn't so grating that I gave up on it, but I was glad to be done with it.

"Iron Widow" by Xiran Jay Zhao - A young woman living in a world that’s a milieu of ancient and modern China seeks vengeance against the celebrity kaiju pilot who killed her sister. And then seeks vengeance against the system which allowed said sister to be killed. And then decides: "since this system is fucking over everyone and everything I care about, how about I fuck it right back?" It's like Pacific Rim meets Handmaid's Tale meets real Chinese history, and that’s not even getting into the nuanced and incisive meditations on gender and sexuality. Recommended, but with content warnings for body horror, familial abuse, heavily implied sexual assault, and hardcore misogyny.

Recently read: Looks like shades of green was the theme for a chunk of my books this week! I visited my family early for the holidays, so I had some time to get through some of the pile.

Invisible Women: Data Bias In A World Designed For Men by Caroline Criado Perez will likely be my last audiobook for the year. Super interesting and full of fun facts to disturb you about living in world designed around the average cis white man. Each chapter/section could probably be (or have been!) a book all on their own. (★★★★)

Enraptured by Candace Camp was delightful. Definitely should’ve grabbed the second book in the series when I had the chance! I’ll be on the lookout to finish this trilogy off. (★★★.5)

Decided to give one of Katee Roberts’ other series a try. Dark Villains is essentially erotica inspired by Disney villains and heroes, so as you can probably guess, The Beast is a BatB-inspired mfm threesome involving the Belle, Gaston, and Beast characters. As usual, the erotica was fab, with the world building and overall story kinda meh. Don’t know if I’ll try any others in this series -- depends on what the library makes available! (★★★)

I absolutely adored The Siren of Sussex by Mimi Matthews. It was a closed door romance (no boning), which was a bit of a letdown, and I wish we’d gotten a bit more development of the romance from the hero’s end, but overall I liked the characters and Matthews’ writing, so I for sure have the next book on my list! (★★★★)

Ashley Herring Blake did it again! Hot sapphic contemp romance with characters I absolutely adore. I wanted Astrid’s story as soon as she was introduced in Delilah Green, and I’m so happy with how it turned out in Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail. This book didn’t hit me as hard in the emotions as Delilah’s did, but it was still very very good on all levels. Can Herring Blake write all the romance books ever please? (★★★★★)

[Ezt úgy kell olvasni, mintha nem felejtettem volna el december végén posztolni]

Rendhagyó módon

két év lesz most egyben, hiszen a tavalyi még az ideinél is megterhelőbb volt, semmi mentális kapacitásom nem maradt olvasni. 2023 egy fokkal jobb volt, szinte már-már a pár évvel korábbi szint, pláne ha figyelembe vesszük, hogy a húszból 10 könyv legalább 5-600 oldalas. (Összehasonlításképpen 2017-ben majdnem kétszer ennyi könyvet olvastam ki, ami összességében csak 200 oldallal volt több.)

Továbbra is azért olvasok, hogy kikapcsolódjak, az elmúlt években sikerült teljesen elengednem, hogy mindenképpen komoly irodalmat, vagy szakirodalmat is kell olvasnom. Nem kell, csak lehet, ha van kedvem. Idén úgy tűnik nem volt.

Gondolataim minden könyvről a keep reading alatt.

Backman: Anxious People az előző évből csúszott át, asszem akkor írtam is, hogy annyira nem tetszett, mint bármi, amit addig olvastam tőle. Ez a véleményem megmaradt.

Patrick Ness nagy kedvenc YA íróm, nagyon ügyesen és okosan felépített világokat teremt, hihető karakterekkel. A More Than This egy régebbi könyve, nem is most olvastam először. (Bár angolul asszem igen.)

Murakamit szeretem, Tzukuru pedig az egyik legjobb, amit olvastam tőle eddig.

Na és akkor Expanse. Januárban végeztünk a sorozat nézésével, szóval gyorsan amíg meleg, végigtolom a könyveket. Gondoltam én. Egy kicsit elhúzódott :D Pont mire odaértem, ahol a filmek végetértek, addigra fáradtam bele nagyon, meg addigra ült az agyamra a rengeteg nehézség, a környezet amiben éltünk, meg hát az élet úgy általában. Szóval ritkán, de néha elővettem. Tulajdonképpen nem tudom, mitől nem jók úgy igazán ezek a könyvek, de valami volt velük, ami miatt nem ajánlanám jó szívvel senkinek. Pörgősek voltak, az igaz, a sztori is rendben volt, még a vége is tetszett, csak valahogy kicsit olyan suták voltak a karakterek, vagy nem is tudom, hiányzott belőle az élet. Mindegy, örülök, hogy a kíváncsiságom győzött, és végül leküzdöttem őket.

Még úgy is, hogy az amúgyis megszakadt lendületet év elején (már költözés után, hiszen januárban semmi időm nem volt) még félbetörtem az új Strike-kal. Igen, ciki JKR-t olvasni, de ha ez bárkit megnyugtat, a könyvet a zlibrary szolgáltatta. Az van ugyanis, hogy nagyon sajnálom, hogy ez a nő ennyire gyökér lett irl, de ez a sorozata fantasztikus. És ugyanúgy, ahogy Knut Hamsun is egyszerre volt a legnagyobb náci akit valaha hátán hordott a föld és az egyik legnagyobb írói tehetség evör, ugyanúgy ketté tudom választani az embert és a művet, persze úgy, hogy közben tisztában vagyok a háttérrel. Ami egyébként csak hozzátesz a könyveihez. Szóval ja, Strike meg Robin egy ilyen guilty pleasure nekem, és ez a rész is teljesen rendben volt, az 1200 oldal ellenére is. A könyv kb negyede különböző social media platformokon játszódott, amit sokan kritizáltak. Nekem nem volt sok, tök jól belevont a történésekbe, de értem, ha valakinek nem annyira jön be csetbeszélgetéseket olvasni. Amúgy 6 nap alatt végeztem vele, ami önmagában is elég sokat elmond.

Miután elolvastam az Expanse utolsó három könyvét (amivel sokkal gyorsabban haladtam, mint az első kötetekkel), valami ismerősre vágytam. Rájöttem, hogy a Medvék harmadik részét még nem olvastam, és hát Backman mindig jó, a Björnstad amúgy is kiemelkedően tetszett, mi baj lehet. Hát, hiba volt. Én nem tudom, hogy csak az angol fordítás volt-e ilyen szar, de én ennyire élvezhetetlen Backman könyvet még nem olvastam. A történet lezárása sem sikerült olyan jóra, valahogy már nem volt hihető az egész. Kár, mert az első kettő nagyon jó volt.

A Csikk régen a listámon van, szeretem ezt a Scolar YA sorozatot. Magyarul olvastam, mert németül nem tudok, de bár ne tettem volna. Ha rengeteg időm lenne, meg maga a sztori lett volna annyira jó, akkor eskü letolnám angolul is, csak hogy kiderüljön, hogy a how do you do fellow kids jellegű szöveg miatt volt-e béna a könyv, vagy amúgy sem egy nagy szám.

Két csalódás után már végképp szerettem volna valami igazán beszippantós-élvezeteset. A Shades of Magic trilógia szintén régi listás, barátnőm nagy kedvence, mióta az első kijött, azóta minden évben rákérdez, hogy elolvastam-e már őket. Na most elolvastam, és tetszett. Jól felépített világok, emberi karakterek, pörgős, izgi. Szeretem, mikor olyan a fantasy/sci-fi, hogy nem kell benne értetlenkedni, meg nem merülnek fel "most akkor ez hogy is van" kérdések, csak olvasod, és olyan, mintha minden furcsaság a legtermészetesebb lenne, mindezt úgy, hogy nem is magyaráz túl semmit. Ez ilyen volt, és mind a három könyv tartotta a szintet.

Aztán mivel minden évben megfogadom, hogy klasszikusokat is be fogok pótolni, elővettem a Mester és Margaritát. Annyira emlékeztem, hogy mindenki hogy szerette gimiben (én basztam elolvasni, akkor épp az angol nyelvű féltégla Gyűrűk urával feküdtem és keltem, nem volt időm ilyen hülyeségekre, mint orosz mágikus realizmus). Hát baszki, én ilyen borzalmasan szar könyvet régen tartottam a kezemben :D Nem az a baj, hogy mágikus realizmus, meg hogy macska meg sátán meg váratlan dolgok. Hanem hogy egy buta, értelmezhetetlen katyvasz az egész. Értem és elismerem a regény világirodalomban elfoglalt helyét, de ez egy kész katasztrófa volt, az első 20-30 oldal után (ami viszont kifejezetten tetszett!) borzalmas szenvedés minden perce. Soha többet.

A Shock of the Fallt nem tudom már hogy választottam, tudtam hogy nehéz téma, de jókat hallottam róla. Tényleg nem volt rossz, bár túlzottan nem maradt meg.

A Heart of Darkness annyiszor szembejött itt már a tumblin, hogy nagyon kíváncsi voltam rá. Persze pont egy olyan periódusban sikerült nekiállnom, amikor nem volt hozzá agyam, nem tudtam rá rendesen figyelni, túl sok minden zajlott a való életben hozzá. Kb 20 oldal után elengedtem, de elő fogom venni megint, mert a 20 oldal nagyon ígéretes 20 oldal volt.

Zafónt most olvastam először. A Szél árnyéka kifejezetten jó volt, intelligens, izgalmas, érdekes, sok helyen vicces. Én nem tudom miért olvasni mindenhol azt, hogy nem jó a könyv, ha nem ismered a történelmi hátteret. Ha valaki emiatt nem állt még neki, az ne halogassa tovább. A második rész is tetszett, és hát vonhatnék párhuzamot a korábban olvasott mágikus realista "a sátán saját szórakoztatására baszakodik egyszeri halandókkal" sztorival, de egyszerűen nem lehet a kettőt egy mondatban említeni sem. Ez egy teljesen követhető, az embert az előtérbe helyező, értelmes történet, amiben értelmetlen/megmagyarázhatatlan dolgok (is) történnek. Mindemellett krimi, szociográfia és valláskritika, de egyikből sem túl sok. A harmadik rész ugyanígy zseni, még ha kicsit más stílusban is, de teljesen jól illik a másik kettő mellé. A negyediket viszont már csak elkezdtem, mire a harmadik végére értem, úgy éreztem épp eleget olvastam már ezekről az emberekről. Meg amúgyis megnyitott közben a little free library az utca végében, amitől nagyon megjött a kedvem norvégul olvasni.

A sort a Méhek történetének eredeti kiadásával kezdtem. Olvastam már, jó könyv, remélem a sorozat harmadik és negyedik része is felbukkan majd a telefonfülkénkben, azokat még nem olvastam. (Ha nem, hát kénytelen leszek könyvtárba menni. Oh well.)

Utána a Vega című YA sci-fi-szerűséget olvastam, amit egyébként egy norvég tumblis 2 éve elpostázott nekem, mikor néhány könyvét felajánlotta a langblr közösségnek. Persze otthon elő sem vettem, úgyhogy most bepótoltam, ha már itt is itt volt a polcon. Rengeteg potenciál volt az alap ötletben, nagyon érdekes is lehetett volna, de sajnos egy buta karakterekkel operáló, rosszul megírt történet lett, idióta párbeszédekkel, tele plothole-okkal, és egy idegesítő "szerelmi háromszöggel", aminek az lett a vége, hogy a főszereplő csaj dobta a kedves és figyelmes, de az apja miatt kicsit megzavarodott fasziját egy olyan csávóért, akinek hiába mondta el minden alkalommal, hogy van pasija és nem érdekli, folyamatosan nyomult rá, meg így lesmárolta mikor nem figyelt meg ilyenek. Én nem is értem, hogy lehet tizenéveseknek szóló könyvbe ilyet beleírni. Namindegy. Ne adjátok a gyereketek kezébe ezt a könyvet.

Jelenleg Tore Renbergtől olvasom a Kompani Orheimet. A filmet szeretem, láttam is már párszor. Nehéz téma, a film sem a legvidámabb, a könyvvel lassan is haladok, mert olvasva még súlyosabb. De jó. Sajnos magyarul az értelmezhetetlen Mégis van apám címet kapta, ami miatt szívesen elbeszélgetnék az illetékessel.

Ezt most mobilról pötyögtem be, linkek nem lesznek. Amúgy sem nektek írom első sorban, hanem magamnak, nekem meg minden ott van a molyon :) szori.

2021-es lista.
