One Hundred Book Reviews covers all kinds of books from novels to social theory, and reproduces the transcripts of one hundred videos the author posted on TikTok and YouTube between 2022 and 2024. Its fiction is helpfully categorised by geographical area, and it includes reviews of poetry, medieval Christian theology and Western esotericism. Old and new are covered, but with an emphasis on more contemporary works. (And of course, let's not forget the future: science-fiction gets a good airing, along with 'Weird' and Fantasy fiction.)
From Homer to Hunter S Thompson, and quite a lot afterwards: if you've ever wondered where to start your serious reading journey, this may well be the introduction you are looking for. If you haven't, well, who knows, it may still be. Give it a try.
