Hey everyone,
For starters, sorry if another recommendation thread like this already exists. I took a brief look around and didn't see one, so that was that.
I am looking for a specific sort of book to read before I start having to deal with the chaos of finals week. My paramaters might be a little specific/wacky, but I really just want to see if anyone knows of something that's a perfect fit for me.
Hopefully this analogy helps you guys to understand my tastes...After years of taking hikes in national/regional park settings, I recently came to the realization that I don't like hiking much at all. But I do love natural color, if that makes any sense at all. I have a much better time just plopping down on top of a picnic table and daydreaming, while soaking in all of my surroundings. I usually like to read books while buzzing on vicodin. I love looking at nature's beauty through an opiate haze. Quiet forests, snowy hills, whatever. I once played a video game set in a sleepy little farming hamlet..god I loved that. Anyways, tonight I'm just not in the mood to plod through complex plots to reach some sort of all important climax...I just want to admire stunning colors and scenes.
I don't really enjoy romances a lot. For some reason, I really enjoy stories about sibling relationships. I like growing up stories. I like To Kill a Mockingbird. I like poignant, childhood stories. I like themes of memory and dreams.
Hm, running out of other ideas. Basically, beautiful language, beautiful imagery. A solid story helps too. Sorry if this was a waste of your time.
Cheers
