listersgirlOkay, you smart and lovely people, I need assistance.
I'm a little bored with my books lately. I'm having a hard time getting into anything I have out from the library, I've read a couple of bad/unexciting things recently, I have nothing coming in from my holds any time soon. In short, I'm in a reading rut.
So, tell me: What is your favourite book? Who is your favourite author? What book do you think everyone around you should read? What is the book that changed your life? What is comfort reading for you? What book can always make you laugh? What have you read recently that got you excited? What book, when you find someone else who loves it, makes you need to be that person's best friend forever? What author do you wish was your best friend?
Give me something, anything, that I need to read. Fiction, non-fiction, genre, new, old, I don't care. Well, I might care a little if it's a western, but I'm willing to have my mind changed. I am your willing reader.

Date: 2003-09-24 08:34 am (UTC)A couple more suggestions... anything by Lorrie Moore. Her short stories are brilliant, and the novel Anagrams is also very good. I love Perri Klass, a pediatrician and author, for the way she depicts the emotional tangles of life. Other Women's Children is a great novel about a pediatrician's struggle to sort out her feelings about the tension between her obligations to her patients and her son. The book of short stories Love and Modern Medicine is good, though her earlier collection I Am Having An Adventure has a wider variety of subjects.
