I haven't read a book in months. Give me some recommendations to get me back into it. Some books that I've enjoyed are The Savage Detectives, A Canticle for Leibowitz, and Invisible Cities

Fahrenheit 451 is a tight, very well-written, fast-paced novel with a lot of impact. I'd recommend that.

Thanks, I read that in high school or maybe late middle school. Might be worth a reread

I've read Gravity's Rainbow, but Thomas Pynchon is a good suggestion. I've read White Noise too

Benvenuto Cellini Perseus with the Head of Medusa, c. 1554 (1)
>>24553148 (OP)
The guy who sculpted pic related, Benvenuto Cellini, wrote an autobiography and it's great. He's a total egomaniac whose life was pissing off his royal patrons, assaulting/killing people, and fleeing for his life over and over. His critiques of other sculptors are hilarious too. It's a toss-up between him and Salvador Dalรญ for most entertaining autobiography I've ever read. You can read it here.
