Show me another »

Someone recommend books for me!?

It'd be awesome if you did, because it's summer. Summer in a small town yields me being bored to death.
Here are the last 3 books I've read:
"Women"- Charles Bukowski
"Cringe"- Sarah Brown
"Off Season"- Jack Ketchum

Much obliged!

Well, that's an interesting list to recommend off of! I'll give it a shot. You might not like all of these but I guarantee that they're all worth your time to look into. Most of these authors have other great stuff as well.

Sometimes A Great Notion ~ Ken Kesey
Less Than Zero ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Neuromancer ~ William Gibson
The Collector ~ John Fowles
Father and Son ~ Larry Brown
Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant ~ Anne Tyler
Jitterbug Perfume ~ Tom Robbins
All We Need of Hell ~ Harry Crews
Bel Canto ~ Ann Patchett
The Dharma Bums ~ Jack Kerouac
A Confederacy of Dunces ~ John Kennedy Toole
The Rainbow Stories ~ William T. Vollmann
Duplicate Keys ~ Jane Smiley

Jeepers, I could just keep going. That's quite a mix though. I hope you find some stuff you like. I've spent more than a few small town summers myself. Good luck, and enjoy!
