I read some free kindle books back in the day, that probably only a few thousand other people have read, so very plausibly no one on Lemmy has ready.

So, what books have you enjoyed that you feel confident no one else on Lemmy has read?

An Dutch book named “Ijskoude Handen”.

I have never heard anyone chat about, here on Lemmy nor on Reddit.

Sergey Snegov - Humans as Gods I read it as a teenager. Full of interesting ideas I haven’t seen anywhere else. Definitely worth a read, however it’s difficult to come by.

Almost anything by Jasper Fforde. He writes amazingly smart and funny modern fantasy, with great characters and settings.

Bleeding Sun by Samuel Sagan. Interesting psychic space warfare with Matrix elements and VR/AR stuff.

Beyond the sky and the earth by Jamie Zeppa. The only people I know who have read it have done it at my recommendation.

New Ideas on Dead Economists. Has a pretty good section on Marx for the "communists". Overall just a good read in the philosophical advancement of economic theory over time. Good approachable econ book.

The book series Garett, P.I. by Glenn Cook, but hoping I'm wrong
