I'm new here on Mastodon.
My name is Ahmed, I graduated in Literature, and I'm currently working as a copywriter. Above all, I'll love reading novels.
My recent fav novel is The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano. Currently I'm reading Lucy by Jamica Kincaid. If you're a #literature enthusiast, I'd love to connect with you. Also, I'm always open to get book recommendations from others. So, do drop your favs.
@ahmedbutt I'm a steel maker, described as "not that odd" on Radio 4 for liking older novels with a big dollop of misery and moralising. I bet you are familiar with some of my favourites. "Old Wives Tale" and "Ruth" by Arnold Bennet, "Gone To Earth" by Mary Webb, but the best has to be "Ethan Frome" by Edith Wharton.
Oh I'm sorry, I haven't read any of these. Adding them to my to-read list. Thanks for the recs.
@ahmedbutt "Ruth" is by Elizabeth Gaskill. My mistake. I was thinking of "Pretty Lady" by AB.
