It’s been a while since I read Darkness at Noon but I remember thinking it was excellent. I’ve been thinking about rereading it.

I had read it a long time ago–either in high school or college. I think I understood and appreciated it much more as an adult.

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
Way more enjoyable than I thought it would be and very thought provoking.
