I'm a self confessed book junkie. I've always got my head in something. I'm here to share.
If you recommend any novels please post in this thread too, always eager to try something new!
I bought a book last night I saw a couple weeks ago and was intrigued by. 'The Ice Age' by Kirsten Reed. I can't put it down! It's a road trip story, essentially, and well written. And I so relate with the narrator in some ways. It revolves around a young girl, older guy, on the road through America, it's a study in people, the geography of a relationship, the nature of loneliness, of travel. Cool stuff. And Gunther. Oh Gunther. He is written so well. Pick it up, it's only a small book. Nice humour and a frankness that is refreshing.
Next up I really want to read 'Water Ghosts' and the next book in the Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy. Cormac is elegiac and poignant without the purple prose. He's a gritty poet in his own right, and I recommend his books. They read just like a good Western feels.
