Chapter 36 in which I rant about literature and ask a favor

[lezbianthezbian]

 I've noticed that the books I stumble into on my own tend to be ok but not spectacular while the books people recommend to me are awesome. For example: Infinite Jest, House of Leaves, The Poisonwood Bible, The Color Purple, Six of One, The Princess Bride, The passion of Michel Foucoult,  Vonnegut, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Ursula K.

I love reading your thoughts. It's as though I can hear your voice saying them out loud.

By the way, this is Olivia. I found you!

For someone who reads all the time I find it really hard to spontaneously come up with book recommendations. Too bad it seems the rest of Picoult's work isn't great, My Sister's Keeper was absolutely incredible. Anyway, off the top of my head the only things I can think of are- crap, you asked fiction. I mainly read nonfiction. Okay, I change it to he only thing I can think of is The Little Prince.

Oh! I loved Kingsolver's Animal Dreams. Some of the plotlines muddy it up a bit but her descriptions of the relationship between two sisters was uncomfortably accurate. I don't know if you have sisters; I have three, so it's really cool to find it written about honestly.
