Need A BooK!!?

The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

I've heard that Dave Eggers uses a great deal of self-referential technique in "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" but I haven't read it myself. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night-Time" looks interesting stylistically. "Ulysses" by James Joyce is, of course, amazing (though its not exactly "new"). Another incredible style is that of Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" collection, "Swann's Way" being the first. That's the best I can offer now - I usually read older books like the ones you mentioned earlier. Good luck.

You should read Moravagine by Blaise Cendrars. It ain't modern but it's so much better than modern, so ultra-modern it will blow your mind. Better than all of those guys.

Btw, Garcia Marquez' best friend Mutis is way better than him. The Adventures & Misadventures of Maqroll is a fantastic modern book containing seven novellas about Maqroll that is amazing.

Also, anything by Jim Christy.

"If On a Winter's Night a Traveler..." by Italo Calvino

"Ada" by Vladimir Nabokov

"A Voice through a Cloud" by Denton Welch

I recommend taking a look at the titles put out by Atlas Press in the UK and Exact Change published by Damon and Naomi of Galaxie 500

anything by Meg Cabot, Stephenie Meyer, Libba Bray, Jane Austen, or Jane Eyre, Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy, Replay, What If...Everyone Knew your name? are all good books and authors

Do you like to read thrillers? If so, check out anything by Matthew Reilly, my favorite is TEMPLE or James Rollins my favorite of all his books is AMAZONIA great reads both authors.

Go for any one of Terry Mirll's books, they're so intelligent and funny.

Kurt Vonnegut is very good! My brother recently became obsessed with him.

ever read "plainsong" very good book
