For me, currently, it is Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors. There is a lot of hate about this book. I don’t know why, the book for me is awesome. First few pages and I’m already hooked. Some chapters got me guessing on the relevance of it in the story but it all made sense at the end. Though it’s a debut novel by Mellors and some writing needs to be improved. Looking forward for her future books.
Confederacy of Dunces.
You can only get that spiderweb of connections revealed for maximum effect once.
I tried/failed to read Confederacy of Dunces twice, somehow didn’t like it the first 2 times and the third time it became one of my favorite books. would love to experience it again.
