Wow, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is stupendous. One of the best American novels I've ever read full stop. I can't believe this isn't taught in schools alongside The Great Gatsby and The Old Man & the Sea, if I'd read this at age 15 it would've been life changing.
You Will Know Me by Megan Abbott is a nice murder mystery/psych thriller from last year. Quick summer read for sure.
I'll be sure to check it out. I've spent close to a 100 dollars buying books these past couple days. Just bought the entire volume of Tomie. Have heard good things about Junji Ito and will be sure to snag Uzumaki next.
