/lit/ - Literature

I've been wanting to read Make Room! Make Room! for forever but I could never find it at any of the libraries near me in the past and didn't ever feel like actually buying it. It's the book that inspired Onions Green, but apparently the cannibalism stuff was added for the movie. So far it's pretty fun. It's a kind of mystery/police story based on a complete misunderstanding about a murder that was committed. And the setting is New York during a heat wave where the city is overpopulated (35 million people, while the real population of NYC is around 8 million people today, and the book takes place in 1999).
