Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami (Fiction)
The most recent book from one of the most recognizable authors of this decade, Killing Commedatore is about a painter who was left by his wife and discovers a painting in his attic, unlocking a circle of mysterious occurrences. To close it, he must undergo a journey involving a mysterious ringing bell, a two-foot-high physical manifestation of an Idea, a dapper businessman who lives across the valley, a precocious thirteen-year-old girl, a Nazi assassination attempt during World War II in Vienna, a pit in the woods behind the artist’s home, and an underworld haunted by Double Metaphors. The book explores themes of love and loneliness and pays homage to the classic novel, The Great Gatsby.
Circe by Madeline Miller (Fiction)
If you love Greek Mythology, you might be interested in this book. Written by the author of The Song of Achilles, this novel is a retelling of the story of Circe, a sorceress from Greek myth.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson (Nonfiction, Self-help)
Written by superstar blogger Mark Manson, this hard-hitting and brutally honest self-help book asks you to throw out the “be positive” attitude and forces readers to confront the good and bad things we have to live with. It is a “much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk” that aims to make you shift your focus on the things that really matter. Its sequel, Everything is F*cked, was released in 2019 and is also available in Fully Booked.
