Any fiction suggestions for a somewhat picky reader? The Expanse lasted me a long while but I'm finishing up the novellas now and need to start looking for something new. Not necessarily in the same genre.

I don't have a lot of books under my belt as an adult, but some of my favorites have been Stoner by John Williams, Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, East of Eden, Catch 22, Flowers for Algernon, and Harry Potter. Kind of all over the place I guess. ๐Ÿ˜…

I've also enjoyed John Williams' other novels, Piranesi, The Things They Carried, House of Leaves, and Ender's Game and the sequel.

Some books I didn't really care for include Hitchhiker's Guide (although I loved the first half), Lolita, Sharp Objects, Turtles All the Way Down, The Stand, The Road, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451.

I'm always overwhelmed trying to find something new, so thanks for any suggestions!

EDIT: Thank you all! It'll be a bit daunting exploring all these new books but not nearly as daunting as if I had no guidance, so I really appreciate it!

I don't think it'll grow on you as you play it more. It's one of those games where you can kind of immediately tell whether you'll like it or not.

I also think it's pretty repetitive (not even different interiors for each moon) but I've been finding a lot of fun with the goofiness of it all. Playing with friends, laughing at each other's demises, and screwing around with the funny gadgets you can buy is where all the fun is for me.

 

With one of the recent iOS updates, it seems like they changed playlist images. I really liked having the 4 album covers so I could get a sense of what the playlist sounds like.

Now newly-created playlists default to a plain image. You can edit the playlist to select from other patterns, but there's no option for the old, tiled style. Is there any workaround to get it back?
