Helin's Book Recommendation Padlet by https://padlet.com/helin_1997/9awtz2e3dd6okszg Hi, you guys! Since I major in the arts and humanities, I thought a nice topic for an introductory padlet would be to share our favourote books! I'd love if some people were open to listing one or two books they love or have read recently, I'm always open for recs! <3 en-us 2023-04-23 16:27:25 UTC 2025-12-30 20:38:56 UTC hello@padlet.com My Own Recommendations helin_1997 https://padlet.com/helin_1997/9awtz2e3dd6okszg/wish/2564709556 1st Rec: The Left Hand Of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
  • a science fiction classic that stands out through its fascinating world-building & themes of gender, love, and utopia.
  • a must for everyone who loves thought-experiments in the form of literature!

  • I'm a fan of classic detective novels, but Dürrenmatt's Versprechen deconstructs and subverts the genre in a way that haunts the reader. 
  • it's also very short and easy to read so if you're looking for novellas to up your 2023 reading quota I'd highly recommend this one!

  • another short novel, this time about a US american moving to europe of the 1950s as a means to escape himself. 
  • the focal romance unfolds in unexpected extremes, but I also love Baldwin's immersive prose and how good he is at describing Paris of the 50s :)
