New Books
I've been looking for a good fictional novel for several months now. I don't mean a ho-hum, that's nice, way to make another couple million Mr. Grisham kind of book; I want the goods. So if anyone out there knows of a book that will really blow my hair back, I want to hear about it. Keep in mind that I'm a student of literature, so I'm picky. That means no Nicholas Sparks, Nora Roberts or any other shitty pop-culture romantic soccer-mom writers. I like classics, but I'd prefer something more contemporary; perhaps someone obscure that I've never heard of, but that has some real talent. I'm looking for interesting characters and a plot that would make Jack Kerouac look like a couch potato. How about a good fictional adventure story? Anyone out there have one of those for me? Lay that business down in the comment section. Much obliged.
