  • I didn’t like the first book, I’m not going to touch any of the following.

    Marie Kondo is somewhat right: Don’t let your life be cluttered with things you don’t enjoy.

    What kind of sci-fi stuff are you looking for? If you are into quirky alternate-reality stuff, then Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next series (starting with “The Eyre Affair”) or the stand-alone “Early Riser” might be fun.


  • S. by Doug Dorst and J.J. Abrams. Apart from the physical gimmicks, the book has a conversation of other readers with “hand written notes” on its pages, which are made at different times.

    Anything footnote-heavy:

    Some essays by David Foster Wallace, in particular the one on the radio show business.

    Those parts of Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next series where footnoterphones are used frequently.
