Bad Boys Book Bangers
Portrait
Pistol
Intellectual range-seeker. Loves ambitious non-fiction (economics, climate science, physics) mixed with challenging literary fiction (Murakami, Sebald, Philip K. Dick). Seems drawn to big ideas and existential questions.
Portrait
Bones
Curious generalist. Sci-fi, speculative thinking, dinosaurs, government/tech. Seems to enjoy books that challenge assumptions and explore "what if" scenarios.
Portrait
The Snakehead
Eclectic adventurer. From philosophy to sci-fi to North Korean journalism to vintage Wolfe. Hard to pin down - embraces variety.
Portrait
Cookie
Epic storyteller. Loves ambitious, sprawling narratives across different cultures and time periods. Russian classics to genre-bending contemporary fiction.
Portrait
The Professor
Story-driven reader with literary taste. Mix of memoir, literary fiction, and gripping narrative non-fiction. Appreciates both artistic craft and compelling true stories.
Portrait
Fat Prince
The Founding Father fan? (Or maybe just joined for one book!)
Portrait
Spanky
Contemporary and idea-focused. Recent acclaimed fiction mixed with accessible non-fiction about systems, history, and innovation.
Portrait
Dug
Literary risk-taker. Two Pynchon novels, experimental fiction, and darker contemporary works. Seems to appreciate challenging, unconventional narratives.
