In these types of threads people always jump in and suggest their favorite books of the author. In my case, it's Remains of the Day and An Artist of the Floating World, the two novels they talk about in the article. I've been such a fan of Remains of the Day after reading it a couple years ago that I've bought it a couple times and shipped it to friends to make sure they read it. I read An Artist of the Floating World earlier this summer and that stuck with me as well. Fantastic fantastic. I've also read Never Let Me Go but it didn't quite do it for me, something felt off in a way that's difficult to express and not worthy of talking about here.
I'll say this though, make sure to read Remains of the Day and then move to Artist of the Floating World. Both about WWII and people's opinions and feelings from what happened in their world. Not the longest of novels, so reading them back to back is the way to go.
- malkia 9y agoI've read the book (Remains of the Day), after reading a post here few years ago. Haven't read the one though (yet). <edit> - yes I did! Thank you http://hn.algolia.com http://hn.algolia.com - here is my post saying that I did (lol) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7541291 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7541291 - but I can't find the post which mentioned it (must've been here)
