Any literature-lovers out there? We've had a few music threads but I don't think I've ever seen a book thread on here. What are your favourites? Any you'd recommend?
- My favourite series is the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn. Set in feudal Japan, it's just pure beauty.
- If anyone's read any Haruki Murakami then you're wiser for it. What a fantastic author. His works feature heavy elements of surrealism and even magic realism, but my favourite is one that remains firmly in reality; Norwegian Wood. I think it's still the most popular ever book in its native Japan, and it's read around the world. Just dreamy. A true masterpiece.
- The Catcher In The Rye makes it into the list simply for having a protagonist who reminds me of myself. An ode to adolescence.
Honourable mentions for the Harry Potter series (it's fun to mock them, but nobody can deny that they're fantastic) and The Hunger Games (surprisingly enjoyable for a book aimed at teenage girls). [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]
