The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde. Oscar Wilde... need I say more? Even if you've read it, read again! Every time I pick up this book, his beauty seeps through the pages and into the air around me. He wields his words with an effortless power that makes me melt, and the story is impossible to forget. (In a lemon-sugar kind of way.)
I Have A Bed Made of Buttermilk Pancakes - Jaclyn Moriarty. Don't know if you know her; this is the first adult novel she's written, and I am totally totally enamoured with this book. It's funny and clever - has the most amazingly well-thought-out structure - and it's romantic and bittersweet and just gorgeous. I think you'd like it :)
She wrote an adult novel? Awesome. I *loved* Feeling Sorry for Celia... I think I actually lent my school's copy to you because I wanted you to share my joy so much. I want to read the sequel... Must...read... picture of dorian gray... I keep remembering I need to and then not doing it.
She did! And, as I said, it's wonderful. Her creativity, the intricacies of her plots... I am so enamoured with her, and her writing, and the fact that she married a Canadian. I started doing martial arts because of the awesome-tastic twelve-year-old girl in that book (whose nickname is Listen. Is that not the coolest?)
Feeling Sorry for Celia was awesome, too. The greatest young adult fiction ever belongs to Jaclyn Moriarty.
And oh yes, you must read Dorian Gray. You're denying yourself the purest form of literary joy and a deeper understanding of James Blunt! ;)
