I read some free kindle books back in the day, that probably only a few thousand other people have read, so very plausibly no one on Lemmy has ready.

So, what books have you enjoyed that you feel confident no one else on Lemmy has read?

    Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban.

    Quoting from wikipedia:

    The book is set “roughly two thousand years after a nuclear war has devastated civilization … [and] … is written in a stylistic, imaginary dialect based on and inspired by the dialect of Kent”

    “The struggle with Riddley’s language is what makes reading the book so absorbing, so completely possessing."

    It takes a while for your brain to adjust, but once it does, you don’t even notice.
