@Ashish the post says “books no one talks about” not “books that don’t sell”

David Massey concede, but partially. Most friends have either, read, reading, or can’t stop recommending. ?. But yes, have not seen it getting discussed on reading groups on the net.
Have you read the follow up, though? Homo Deus. I haven’t yet. Mixed reviews on this one.

@Ashish I haven’t read the followup either but I will read it when I get around to it.

The Mirror by Marlys Millhiser. I’ve never seen posts about it, much less seen a post where someone was recommending it. I love it. Definitely one of my favorite books of all time.

Agree. I was in Cairo last week, and went hunting a few places for this one, but drew a blank ?. Picked some works of Naguib Mehfouz instead.
