TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 26/09/2026“Death demands resignation; absence doesn't.” While I love Piñero’s books, this was probably my least favourite so far. It’s a little uneven and meanders a bit. Also, I can’t with the self-righteousness of hypocritical religious people even in fiction that is critiquing it. 11515
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 18/09/2026“I think evil is a choice, and an ongoing one. Even in the midst of committing wickedness there are choices of how wicked one will be, which is made by the minute.” Like other Marlon James novels, this one was brutal. But perhaps his best one yet! 41907
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Just had a pretty strange blast from the past moment: watching tv in my apartment and I hear a live band playing Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill songs in the park across the street (I only know this because my childhood friends liked them). Turns out it was Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill performing lol 2390
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 13/09/2026“I like the way you talk when I'm in your mouth Mister we're almost there pull over this is the edge of my hole this is where nobody goes but you” I really enjoyed @dapowell.bsky.social ‘s playful collection of tricks (and treats!).

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 11/09/2026“That's how we look at the world…from the threshold. We miss most of it…Most of what we experience is ourselves, not the world around us.” This is perhaps the most remarkable novel I have read in years. I don’t know how I will stop thinking about it. Having just finished it, I want to start again! 220510

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 28/08/2026"Virginia Woolf would have loved Grindr." Probably unpopular opinion: the way this novel lampoons the commodification of queer tragedy is how I feel about A Little Life. 61978
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Finally got to this one and I am loving it so much! It’s big and it’s slow, and the characters are so well-drawn that I know they’ll stay with me for a long, long time. Daanje is now one of my will-read-whatever-she-publishes authors. Oh, and happy Friday, everyone! 🥳 62277

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 07/08/2026“…what's past is prologue.” I read this for the first time 20 years ago, so thought I’d reread it before seeing the show in Stratford next week. Happy Friday, everyone! 🥳 72689
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 04/08/2026“We should each have our own swerve in life, that moment when we defy our nature and deviate from the path we find ourselves on, a cleavage between before and after. Everything comes into being as a result of the swerve. Nothing new emerges from keeping to a straight line” 12228
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 01/08/2026"His beauty hurt me, this unmarkable thing that bounced everything back towards me.” This was such a gritty, wild ride about gang violence (with a queer protagonist) that I didn’t know I wanted. Like being fucked without lube. 31986

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I love that the Booker longlist announcement this year almost falls on my birthday. Surely it’s not overly indulgent for me to get all of them for my 40th, right?? (Unless someone wants to get them for me of course… 👀😜) 2360
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 27/07/2026“try & watch a horror film from the point of view of the monster. imagine, every man shrieks at the sight of you…you didn’t know your name until they named you…didn’t know your hunger was so unclean. so you learned to grow in the dark as darkness grew in you.” Be shameless today and everyday! 11887
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 25/07/2026And now I can get to my annual summer tradition of reading a thicc boy (because the summer is the only time I really have to read something without many interruptions). Last year’s was Eleanor Catton’s The Luminaries. Bonus points if you can guess which 20th century classic this is 🤓 524213
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 25/07/2026This was waiting for me at the library when I got back. Like all the others, it was super cute! Have a great weekend, guys! 427615
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 24/07/2026“I didn't think this feeling, or this behavior was sick—at least, no more sick than the way most other people were. Everyone I'd ever met, they were all sick. I just had more self-awareness, and a greater sense of what I could do to get that joy in my soul.” 51636
TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 24/07/2026“The difference between remembering and imagining is very small” I just got back from my trip and I barely know what day it is (until opening this app, of course 😉). Have a great one guys! 😘 21545

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Happy hump day! In the tradition of reading novels by writers from countries I’ll soon visit, I picked up Vargas Llosa’s last novel.
