I’ll make sure I get to it then!

I thoroughly enjoyed that one. I laughed out loud several times!

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I think I would like that as well! 😁

I quite liked it, but it might not be representative of her body of work? I’ve seen several people not like this one as much as maybe Yellow Face or Katabasis. Yellow Face was my introduction to her and here I am!

“If history could smash maps and close borders and scatter families across the world, if history could cause all this destruction in the span of several decades, why wouldn't the tides turn back? Why couldn't the authoritarians lose power? Why couldn't the exiled go home?”

I am naked and on my knees in my living room. I am turned away from the camera, exposing my ass. My balls are hanging. I’m propping up an iPad against my thigh displaying the cover of R.F. Kuang’s Taipei Story.

“machines are bound to be inaccurate, they have not the intelligence of human beings, naturally the human mind corrects the faults of the hand but a machine of course there are errors…but [France] does not really believe that these things have anything to do with the real business of living.”

I am lying naked on my couch with a blanket under me. A copy of Gertrude Stein’s Paris France is resting on my right thigh.

A good reason for not being able to read!

Aww, thanks! 😘 The beginning of the school year has been busy, but I am still getting a bit of reading done! 😜

“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.

I am naked on the couch with the morning sun illuminating my body. I’m crouched on my knees with Claudia Piñero’s Cathedrals in one hand.

I literally yelled that line out to my husband while I was reading it lol

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I thought it was one of the best books I’ve read this year!

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I know what I’ll be reading next on that list then! 😛

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Same here! Those are my top two atm

I haven’t read the whole longlist, but from what I’ve read so far, if he doesn’t win the Booker for this, I feel like it’s only because he’s won it already 🤷‍♂️

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Oh, yeah, definitely. It’s also quite the page turner, which made the 600 pages feel like a much shorter book. And behind all the horrific violence, Marlon James is kinda hilarious!

TheNakedReader @thenakedreader.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Lol, so on brand! I did smell a ton of pot smoke through my window last night 😛

“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!

I am standing naked near a window. The room is dark and my body is lit up by a lamp. I’m holding a copy of Marlon James’ The Disappearers.

Just 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

“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!). The blend of moans and laughter made my day! 😘

I am naked on the couch, leaning back with my legs spread apart. I am showing my hole, balls, and cock to the camera. I am also holding up a copy of D.A. Powell’s Tricks.

“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!

I am standing naked in my living room holding a copy of Anjet Daanje’s The Song of Stork and Dromedary. The morning sun is lighting up my body from the left.

“But just as a shadow is shaped like whatever it's chained to, so forgetting only takes the shape of whatever it is covering.”

I am sitting naked on the couch with my legs spread open. My cock is engorged. My right hand is propping up an iPad on my thigh displaying the cover of The Fallen Trees Are Also The Forest by Alejandra Kamiya.

I enjoyed it! I felt like a gay Yellowface for me.

*Looks left and right, whispers* me too! I don’t understand that book’s cult status 😑

"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.

I’m sitting naked on a purple kitchen stool with one hand on my upper thigh and my other hand holding an iPad displaying the cover of Josh Silver’s Fruit Fly.

I do the same! And now that I live on the other side of the world, the time difference means my birthday starts the night before 😛

Finally 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! 🥳

I am standing naked in a dark vestibule. Some light from a window illuminates my body. I am holding a copy of Anjet Daanje’s The Remembered Soldier in my right hand. My penis is engorged.

“Beliefs…set boundaries that are also a map of the world. Now that I have reached that boundary, I don't know if I have the courage to go on or if it's even possible to turn back?”

I am naked on my knees on a couch. In my right hand is an iPad displaying the cover of Munir Hachemi’s The Mulai.

I thought it was super interesting how all the characters projected their feelings about themselves and each other onto the cat instead of clearly communicating with each other. So messy!

It’s not his best, but I enjoyed it!

Why didn’t anyone tell me Tanizaki wrote a novella about a love triangle involving a cat?!

I am naked and sitting cross-legged on the couch. My tuxedo cat is napping in front of me. Right next to the cat is a copy of Junichiro Tanizaki’s A Cat, a Man, and Two Women.
