Re: Reading actual books

[creambun]

Ah, I completely skipped this thread last night! Gonna put titles in quotations rather than italicize everything because I'm lazy, sorry about that.

For classics, I would suggest

-John Steinbeck. I've only read his short works but I like them well enough (more "Of Mice and Men" than "The Pearl", which is why I avoided him for years)

-The Bronte sisters. I adore "Jane Eyre" and "Agnes Grey" wasn't bad but I could never get into any of Emily's work.

-Shirley Jackson. "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" was such a good read and her short stories are the same.

-"Catch-22" by Joseph Heller is actually one of the only novels that has made me laugh and I really like his style.

-Margaret Atwood. I've only read "The Handmaid's Tale" but it was good and I have a friend who assures me that the rest of her novels are just as fine c:

-"Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" by Winifred Watson was a quick and cute book.

-Daphne du Maurier. "Rebecca" was just really enchanting and her collection of "lost stories" was a worthwhile read.

I personally like Murakami but I will admit he has a lot of repetitive themes; I recommend starting with "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" and then read any of his short story collections. "Kafka" was okay but I was way more in-tune with the old man sections than Kafka himself; however, I do like "1Q84".

Others books I enjoy but aren't classics are most of David Sedaris' essays, "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski, "The boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To" by DC Pierson (I am really not too happy with the ending but I loved the relationship of the main two boys), "Water for Elephants" by Sarah Gruen, and "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland" by Catherynne Valente

Perhaps you should look into classics for children or for manga? I'm really into Edward Gorey and lately I've been reading a lot of Hagio Moto and Yoshihiro Tatsumi
