1940s-50s Books

The Body by Stephen King

On the Road
It's that books only strong point.

Kurt Vonnegut, if you're ok with an author writing after his life in that era and looking back on it. He wrote with an interesting mix of nostalgia and horror at some of what he saw as flaws in American culture of the time.

Massively underrated book. Better than Revolutionary Road, which is the book it always gets compared to.

The Big Nowhere is one of my favourite books. The other ones are great too but this one feels very overlooked in comparison to LA Confidential

The Recognitions
