3⭐️ I was not prepared for that ending! 😱 It was an okay read for me, but everything clicks after I read the afterword (Spoiler alert❗️Also, save the author‘s note til after you finish reading) - this could be an autobio, told from a childhood perspective

This is actually a REALLY cool list full of "not this, but that"-style #bookrecs ! There are TONS of authors who contributed to the list (e.g. Lauren Groff, Mohsin Hamid). Lots of books by women and POC get featured, rather than the same old "dead white dudes" - surprising since it's GQ! Filled up my TBR ?

What do you think of their recs?

bookandcat @thereadingwomen have you ever done an episode on replacing books from guys in stereotypical literary canon with comparable ones by women writers? This list has a lot of examples of that! 7y
ravenlee The Keith Richards one threw me a little... 7y

Deblovestoread I thought I would check it out and find a gem or two. Found the whole list enticing. 😀 7y
emilyhaldi I‘m going to have to disagree 💯 with #1 about Lonesome Dove... but I‘m also glad to see I‘m not the only one that says to skip Franny and Zooey!! 7y
ephemeralwaltz Love love love! 7y
ephemeralwaltz @bookandcat that sounds like a GREAT idea! 7y
Billypar What a great article! I think everyone should be open to swapping from the canon- you don't need to have a consensus that the ones taken out aren't good anymore, but the canon should have a diversity of voices, writing styles, and cultures represented. Side note- I need to reread Catcher- loved it in HS, but I feel left out of the debates without having read it as an adult. Agreed about Blood Meridean- I would swap for others from McCarthy. 7y
