Lol, I was reading down the list and I was like dude, none of my recs made it *sadface* but then I saw the message at the bottom and said frown was turned upside down
( ... )
LMAO I'M SORRY MY AIM HISTORY WASN'T SAVING;; but this is nice, i think last time you mostly gave me authors and it works for this list to have specific books o:
thank you xD i really love book recs;;
and i actually probably have like. every ursula le guin book written, my dad was a die-hard fan, lmao.
dune always makes me think of you o: i think it's because of that yunchun story, lmao, but. I'LL THINK OF YOU WHEN I READ IT /CRIES
i could see you not being crazy about toni morrison, it makes sense, since you didn't like haruki murakami's style? she has a vague, lack of concrete explanation/fact that can be kind of, strange. sula left me with a weird feel, like half of it went over my head, but i kind of like that style, lmao xD and jazz just has something about it that clicks with me o: i haven't tried nemirovsky yet, so we'll see how that goes!
I've also maybe kinda sorta expanded the list. Because I'm sneaky like that.
I found Toni Morrison to be very depressing. I read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston before attempting Song of Solomon and the two together were just too much. That's what I like about Armistead Maupin, he makes me cry, but it's not without reason and I don't feel hollow and sad when I finish his books. That and the gay romance is jolly good too.
i'm going to start with this for now, but i'm sure at some point i'll be asking you for more recs, lmao <3
i actually don't know much about song of soloman (i just amazoned it to check out the summary), but that's an interesting way to look at her writing o: sula was depressing too /dies, but i think it held my attention for some reason? i felt like if i hadn't been so determined to read it (it was on my list /dies) i'd have put it down because of the parts that made me ':/' (murders and such). SO I ACTUALLY GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. and i totally want some gay romance lmao. do you have any novels to rec with main-focus lesbian romances?
I don't, unfortunately, but there is a lesbian romance (as well as a transgender one) in Tales of the City. And the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has some lesbian scenes that are actually pretty sweet.
Sorry to interrupt but I wanted to ask more about The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. Was it an easy read (as are the sequels)? I've been meaning to pick it up but I always get distracted by other titles at the bookstore.
It's a very easy read. I blew through the first book in one night and read the others over a weekend each. Stieg Larsson wrote in Swedish, so the translations might not retain as much of his style as one would wish to read, but what IS there is very easy to get caught up in, I promise you.
