Just finished Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer (loved it, just discovered the "new weird" genre and it's totally my vibe). Now started reading The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, the structure of the book and the setting seems cool and intriguing.
Both great reads. I'd also recommend the second and third books following Annihilation, just know they are quite different. Good, but different.
I also just finished it
Man, I read the book maybe two years ago and it just... sort of left no impression. The world was neat and weird but fuck it was weird. Maybe I need to consider a re-read at some point.
If you liked Anniliation and the rest of the trilogy (well worth it!), Check out Our Wives Under The Sea by Julia Armfeild.
