I've been reading a bunch of older classics and I'm hungry for something more contemporary. See if you can give me top 5 or top 10.
What are the best works of literature published from 1990 onwards?

Knausgaards My Struggle is pretty good, you should probably look into reading at least the first book.

you colossal spastic.
What the fuck is your actual problem?
Also,
Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets by Svetlana Alexievich
I don't care if the nobel is a meme. they're both good books
Thanks, man. This is what I'm looking for.
do you need help tying your own shoelaces?
Why are you making fun of me?
Dumbass.
Probably wasn't mentioned because Updike has only ever written one book and it wasn't in the 90s.
Updike is absolute fucking G A R B A G E. If I wanted to hear about white trash fucking around, getting upset over NOTHING, and doing nothing with their lives I would go back to san diego
