The Secret History is so brilliant in terms of character study. So many themes investigated so thoroughly and Tartt just absolutely consumes your entire soul while you're reading. She doesn't even let go when you're done, it'll stay with you forever fr. She's such a genius for creating such awful people who are at the same time so charming and relatable. The gold standard of both literary fiction and dark academia. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Goldfinch! TSH and The Goldfinch are my two favourite books but I love the latter just a little bit more. The characters are just as complex and wonderful as in The Secret History :))

thank you!! The dutch house is incredible 🫶

What an interesting selection. I tend to think I've read everything but some of these I'd not even heard of, which has shocked me! Anyone who likes Dan Brown and Tolstoy in the same list deserves following.

I have now read the top 3 on your list. When I saw that the secret history was your favourite, I knew I could trust your taste. Can’t wait to eventually get to more on the list

The little friend is my favourite Donna tartt book too, it’s so so good, way better then secret history imo, also as someone who’s dealt with grief and suicide, the little friend hit me very very hard
