Gotta get something by Kazuo Ishiguro on there! I suggest Never Let Me Go or The Remains of the Day

I'm adding both! Never Let Me Go appeals to me more from first impressions, but The Remains of the Day is seemingly more significant based on my searches(?). So, both have been added

2005 seems a bit more recent than most "classic" novels.

I’ve read both and The Remains of the Day was way better.

I've been really underwhelmed by the two Ishiguri books I've read, and I really wanted to like them. 🤷‍♀️

That's okay. I'm sure more than a handful of these will leave me the same way, but first I have to try them out to know
