just scanning my shelves now trying to remember anything that I might have called good.

The World War Z book is nothing like the movie, its actually good. It takes place after the whole zombie apocalypse is already finished and society is restructuring, from the perspective of the in universe author interviewing people about their experiences of it. I thought it was pretty interesting and unique when I first read it, but that was a while ago so idk if it still holdsup.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson is a pretty funny novel that does what it says on the tin. It is also a historical fiction where the Old Man recounts his life and reveals he is indirectly responsible for a lot of the big events of World War 2.

The Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan is a novel i had to read for 6th Year english class, and its actually pretty good. An intensely irish story set during the recession, each of the 21 chapters is from the perspective of a different person in a small irish town and each one of them has their own fucked up things happening to them. Very depressing, but its also written in irish vernacular english and slang, which might be fun and interesting to read.
