If you only want single book entries, you probably need to go back to classic literature.
Anything that's good will be the victim of its own success and get more installments.
sound like you just don't know a good one
I know good classic ones. Not anything from this century, because: capitalism.
Edit here is some amazing ones:
The Count of Monte Cristo — Alexandre Dumas
Anything not just: Las Miserables from Victor Hugo
War and Peace — Leo Tolstoy (this technically was published as several books) it is really fun!
The Brothers Karamazov — Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Red and the Black — Stendhal I do love this tho it has a second one.
The Master and Margarita — Mikhail Bulgakov
Enjoy!
Stop teasing us give up those vintage beauts
Edited my comment, with the list :)
i actually do have a copy of les mis around here somewhere... are you saying NOT to read that one? lol
No, that book is just miserable in my book. It is great tho.
Hmm thinking about it the other books from him were not less miserable.
hahahhhhhh nice pun in all fairness, the book is called Les Miserables. the play is my favorite of all time, so i thought id like the book as well. we live in miserable times, so it's relatable
War and Peace is fantastic, one of my favourite books. Good suggestion.
