So, I’m looking for a new book to read and I’m open to suggestions. I just finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series (which was pretty good), and now I’m stumped. Anyone want to be helpful and give me some good book recommendations?
Some of my favorites:
His Dark Materials
A Prayer for Owen Meaney
The Dark Tower Series
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
Catcher in the Rye
Hitchhiker’s Guide
The Ender’s Game Series
Cat’s Cradle
Never Let Me Go
Life of Pi
And the funny writers like Chuck Klosterman and David Sedaris (but not Dave Eggers because his pretentious self-involvement gets on my nerves after awhile)
Some terrible books (in my opinion):
The Road
On the Road
LOTR
Remains of the Day
Most Classics that kids are forced to read (with a few exceptions)
Every British Period Novel that I’ve ever tried to read.
Also, there was a book that I read once that I know I really enjoyed, but I barely remember it. All I know is that I think it was by an Asian author. A girl was the main character. It was mysterious with possible weird time travel involved. And the end takes place at a cabin (I think? possibly by the ocean?) and there’s a painting in the cabin that spurs some sort of memory or realization. …if this sounds familiar to anyone let me know. I’d really like to figure out what it was.
