First Quarter Book Recommendation 2022
Four times a year, at the end of each quarter, I consider all the books I've read over those three months and offer my recommendation for one book I would suggest you try.
Not merely sticking to my favourite, but more in terms of which I would consider a good all-rounder for a broader audience.
With five of the seven books reviewed in the first three months of this year receiving a four-star rating, you may be surprised I chose probably the most flawed of the collection.
Recursion definitely held some major gripes for me, as you can read in my review, but it is still a very intelligent and hugely enjoyable book. The premise is incredibly interesting and addicting and Crouch delivers, most of it, very well.
My reasoning behind suggesting this as a recommendation to a broad audience, considering my misgivings about it, is that I feel my personal tastes and opinions may be the sole reason for my frustrations with it. And so, putting that aside, I think Recursion could be a winner for a lot of people who possibly don’t have my hangups.
Recursion by Blake Crouch may be flawed, but is very much still worth reading.
