which author's writing has made their book just fly by for you, regardless of the genre?
Discussion
Hermann Hesse, Milan Kundera, Joseph Heller
you?
orwell's 1984 definitely
uhm, pollitt and bouckaert actually too (was mandatory for a uni course)
Haven’t read 1984, just excerpts. Pollitt and Bouckaert are new to me. I will look them up. What did you read of theirs?

reading 1984 helps understanding a bunch of the cultural references too and be more in the loop of things
any specific books of theirs you've enjoyed? 💜
Great place to start with Kundera:

Hesse, so many. As a young man this is a good start: https://archive.org/details/DemianHermannHesse_201905
Heller, the classic. A single paragraph could have me laughing, gasping in horror, and then in tears by the end: https://archive.org/details/catch2201hell
It's been a long time but "Surely you're joking Mr. Fyneman" was a fun read and felt a lot shorter than it was.
