Ankur Sethi wants to read The Ballad of the Sad Café: And Other Stories by Carson McCullers
One of those southern gothic collections. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the genre, but I do like Flannery O'Connor so maybe this will be good too.
Reviews and Comments
I read pretty much everything, but lean towards SFF, horror, literary fiction, and sometimes romance. Dangerously obsessed with The Locked Tomb. Sometimes, I write.
I'm also active on Mastodon at @s3thi@fantastic.earth and on my personal blog.

Big ideas, fun plot, but paper-thin characters.
Also, people often sit around just talking in riddles. Gives me a headache.
It’s a fun book regardless.
