- Anything by R.K Narayan (he's hit-and-miss for me, though. Some of his novels I like, some I totally don't get.)
- The Harp in the South - Ruth Park. Don't read "Poor Man's Orange".
-Most of Thomas Hardy's better known novels (I don't like his more obscure ones).
- Sleeping with Cats - Marge Piercy
-A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
- Dirt Music by Tim Winton. I couldn't really get into his other stuff.
- The Book of Disquiet - Fernando Pessoa. The Jull Costa trans. is far superior. Some might find this emo - I find it depressing and trite if I'm not in a certain mood.
