THE RETURN OF BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS!

[tricia868]

I am somewhat tempted to tell people that all I want for my birthday this year is books.  I doubt my family will buy me volumes of Bleach, but regular books are a very common thing for me to want, so...


I'm asking for must-reads.  I'm a bookworm who will read just about anything, but I have a soft spot for fantasy.

Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen
Sense & Sensibility - Jane Austen

I am not even kidding. They are two of my favourites.

House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski (just freaking head trip, but so amazing)

And I have heard amazing things about the Howl's Moving Castle books, which I have yet to read but I am saving for... I will add more later :D

I have been pushing Danielewski on her for ages. She still has my copy of Only Revolutions, actually.

Ah, I need to get that one. Leaves rocked my world but for some reason I hadn't gotten around to getting the other yet >:

HEY TRI. YOU SHOULD ALSO GET POE'S HAUNTED ALBUM TO LISTEN TO WHILE YOU READ HOUSE. YOU MIND WILL BE BLOWN.

It's soooo good. It's like a Joycian love story but everything is symbolic aaaagh I love it.

SECONDING THIS SO HARD
