books

anybody got good books to recommend? seems that the library has a huge stockpile of books. thing is, all the good 1s get booked/borrowed, leaving the shitty ass 1s by shitty ass authors hoping to make a quick buck.

and soooooo, after delving into the depths of the enormous catalogue, there appears a few hidden gems.

the maigret series by georges simenon. his books belong in the crime/thriller category, yet the focus is on the emotional and the dark side of human nature. therefore the books give a quite interesting perspective different from your Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle. While the latter explores the how, the former explores the why.

very very interesting. anybody got books to lend?
