Lost Horizon was like a bestseller in its day. There's a movie based on it. It is a good book though. Underrated

I got it from this link. I don't normally read books from links like this, given for free. But there was something strange about it. It was like the author just posted it, then committed suicide? I don't know. But the context was weird af. You have to go back into the archive. I thought it was fishy, but I downloaded the book and started reading it. It was fucking insane. Great book. Underrated. Don't know what the author was saying, about the Jews this, and the Jews that, and he can't get published. But anyway, this one is a real hidden gem.
here's the link to read it for free

Last year I read pic related. It's brilliant, but most people don't seem to understand it. The book acts as if the Minotaur actually survived Theseus and scaped the labyrinth. Because the Minotaur is inmortal, we then see him working at an american restaurant for minimum wage. Most people I've recommended this book dismiss it as postmodern trash, but to me it's much more than that. The Minotaur represents humanity as a whole and our struggle between our animalistic and our human sides. There's a lot of imagery and meaning in most of the things that on a surface level seem simply "postmodern" or "funny". I'd higly recommend this book.
