What's your favourite book you've read this year so

King Lear probably

but Interviews with Hideous Men gave me the biggest boner so that deserves an honorable mention

Mason & Dixon. The ending (and just the fact that it was over) depressed the hell out of me.

War and War by Laszlo Krasznahorkai, one of the strangest books I've ever read. I can safely say I didn't understand at least half of it and what the fuck was even happening with the manuscript frame narrative thing but by the end it made me feel like absolute shit. It was so painful to read for me that I would find any excuse not to pick it up and read it so I read like 3 other books simultaneously before I could finish it. Also >Looking for the website on the internet and realising everything he did or suffered through, his great work, his death, his legacy, all went to shit

I'm so accustomed to spoilers being used ironically to hide memes that I often open them without realising that people also use them to hide spoilers.

>look at spoilers out of habit and because they're almost always shitposts
>spoil the ending of Don Quixote, while being about 810 pages in

That's kinda on you, buddy.

Same, OP. Nearly cried by the end of Don Quixote. It's so much fun and generally hilarious how he mistakes things like inns as castles, yet it slowly becomes tragic with every misfortune and misasventure.

Plus, the book has the most fascinating digressions (book 1 has plenty of characters expressing their backstories and even a novella)

I haven't read very many books this year, and I'm sorry for that.
My favourite out of the ones I have read must be Pestkungens Legend by Lars Andersson or Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
