Some Book Recommendations

Poetry:

The poetry here isn’t too hard to read and are highly rated (by academics and the public) as well as being my favourite collections of poetry.

Selected Poetry and Prose of Percy Shelley – If you like passionate poetry

Complete Poems of Walt Whitman – Good free verse poetry

The Poetry of Pablo Neruda – if you like complex poetry and some love poems at the start of the book.

William Shakespeare’s Sonnets – Some of the greatest poetry written in my opinion

Fernando Pessoa & Co.: Selected Poems – Just a good poet who has different poetic styles.

Prose:

Basic Writings of Nietzsche(philosophy) – A enjoyable philosopher to read in comparison with other philosophers who write very dense and boring texts.

Neuromancer by William Gibson(Cyberpunk Science fiction) – the first cyberpunk text and a science fiction classic.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy(post apocalyptic) – One of the saddest and most beautiful stories I have ever read

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy(western) – a darker story of the wild west, the best wild west story you will read (in my opinion) and the most historically accurate version of the wild west.

Dune by Frank Herbert(science fiction) – Considered one of the best science books of all time.
