Katherine Dunn Questions & Answers

Resolved Question: Based on the last 5 books I read ?
what book would you recommend I read next? (Not anything by the same authors please) My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (didn't really like though) The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory The Stranger by Albert Camus Geek Love by Katherine Dunn The Return by Victoria Hislop Sarah - are you a little slow today? I've already read all these books - a new recommendation please. Mushu - you as well. Felicity - thanks, but I've read most of Kafka already. Allatsea - thanks. The book does sound like a self-help and I probably wouldn't have given it a second glance if you hadn't mentioned it was a novel. I can't abide self-help books. Amazingwoo - Already read Atonement, found it underwhelming, but thanks for the other suggestion. And Qwerty - thanks for your recs too. Grace - have already read The Other Boleyn Girl, it's my favourite of Gregory's books - but I did ask for recs from other authors and not the ones already listed. As to My Sister's Keeper - the premise was interesting, and the lead character Anna was compelling, but I found it very cliched and poorly written. I also disliked most of the other characters. Upsy - I loved the Night Watch. One of the best books I've read this year. Deb - thanks - i've read most of the books you have listed already but haven't had a go at Plath's Bell Jar - should try that out soon. thanks again. Caring Carer - thanks for the list. I've read most of the classics listed and Jonathan Strange which I loved. I really cannot stand Tolkien though. But there are a few books there that I may check out.
