Strip Tees was a sleeper hit for us millennial girlies that lived on American Apparel! I love a good anti-beach reading list. But confession, I could not finish Penance. The slang teenage dialect made me wanna rip my eyeballs out I'm so sorry to this book - maybe I'm just too old and fogey
LMAO okay first of all, love that confession, i do feel you, truly. But hopefully there is some overlap in our tastes, some gonna be a smash, some gonna be a pass!!!
The Hot Zone!!!!!!!!! literally had me convinced I was going to be an epidemiologist in 9th grade. LOVE that it made it onto this list so that I can talk about it with other ppl. Also cannot say enough good things about Made For Love (and the HBO verz is a trip if you're into that kind of thing).
Adding Jurassic Park + Aesthetica + Penance to my to-read list ASAP. TY as always for the insight + recs, EJ!!!
DUDE THE HOT ZONE. I only know this book because when I was v young we had a highschool babysitter who was reading it and told us about it and i was HORRIFIED and enthralled and knew i needed to get my hands on it. So it has really stood the test of time!!!
NEED to watch the HBO show made for love, GREAT reminder. LMK what you think of the ones from this list that you read! THANK YOU for reading, you are the best!!!!
I know we have wildly different tastes, but this list/newsletter was amazing! I added 4 to my Want to Read shelf: Penance, All the Pretty Horses, Strip Tees, and The Hot Zone. You're also 100% correct about Cloud Cuckoo Land.
Our different tastes are why your compliments mean so much to me!!!! But no we're like yin and yan, opposites that balance each other (with some overlap!!!) All of those are great choices that i think you will love– and Strip Tees is honestly just millenial required reading!!! Need to hear what you think if/when you read any of these!
I have almost all of them so ill bring them to you! you can't def can't handle the hot zone 😂 but i think you'd like all the rest– especially strip tees and all the pretty horses!
LOVE all your escape/adventure recs, and cannot say enough about Calypso. I rec Crichton's 1969 "Andromeda Strain" as another escape/beach read - made more relevant by the recent COVID pandemic.
oooo LOVE which ones are u thinking??? i loved boy parts and penance- super impressed by Eliza Clark’s work and her ability to write such different but still wildly engrossing novels! eager to hear your thoughts on both!

I will definitely let you know. I just put a hold on Penance. I have to wait a few books to do another non-fiction :)
My selections from your list:
Vagablonde
Aesthetica
The hot zone
Monsters
Striptees
All the pretty horses
Can I handle any of these? What do you think?

Monsters sounds really good! I’m getting my hands on that one
Let me know what you think!!! It's one of those ones that makes me want to reread it
Penance sounds like it’s worth a shot. Thanks
Would love to hear what you think!
