The Top 5 Books I Read in 2023
5. Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman
“If I could have him like this in my dreams every night of my life, I’d stake my entire life on dreams and be done with the rest.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name“Everyone goes through a period of Traviamento — when we take, say, a different turn in life, the other via. Dante himself did. Some recover, some pretend to recover, some never come back, some chicken out before even starting, and some, for fear of taking any turns, find themselves leading the wrong life all life long.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name
4. Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
“As a general rule, I like holes. A hole at the top of my tank gives me freedom. But I do not like the hole in her heart. She only has one, not three, like me. Tova’s heart. I will do everything I can to help her fill it.”
― Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures“Why can humans not use their millions of words to simply tell one another what they desire?”
― Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures
3. Pet Sematary by Stephen King
1. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
