Secret Santa

LibraryThing user laze's Secret Santa was LibraryThing user elgatoazabache!

Recipient's book tastes

My favorite books from SantaThing in the past have introduced me to new authors. I enjoy Japanese fiction (English translation) from the early 20th century until current times, haiku (I've been looking for a good book on Issa), Eastern European fiction (Poland, Lithuania specifically), histories or studies of very specific subcultures (or sub-sub cultures), deep dives on specific cinematic styles/periods, histories of unusual or rare music genres, etc. I certainly don't mind US fiction either - some themes I enjoy are time travel, coming of age, or just downright experimental/odd.

Do not get

Christian, romance, popular fiction, cookbooks

LibraryThing user laze: Thanks for the great picks and the wonderful suggestions here. As with every year, I make note of the other books that were suggested and look back when I'm looking for what to read next. (Dec 27, 2023, 12:07pm)

LibraryThing user elgatoazabache: Happy santathing Laze! I hope you enjoy your books!

To librarything, I struggled with finding a book for the remaining 8 dollars. If Mountains of Parnassus doesn't work (it is slightly over price) please substitute for either Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five (9780440180296) or Dan Simmons' Hyperion (9780553283686). (Dec 3, 2023, 5:46pm)

LibraryThing user dacejav: Doom 94 by Jānis Joņevs - I loved this coming-of-age story about 1990s alternative metal subculture in a provincial town Jelgava, Latvia.
