I'm out of books and nothing sounds good

Jesus, what sort of recommendation is that? That sounds awful. The lady needs a break, not something to take her over the edge.

It fits MH's requirements.

Papaya, are you recommending crap? How would it take me over the edge. I like books that leave me thinking about them forever. Nothing scary though. I keep my husband up at night.

All of these suggestions are giving me hope for the future!

mother, for you I'd recommend Silent Tears: A Journey of Hope by Kay Bratt. See if its review on the Azmo is to your liking.

Of course I'm not recommending crap! Would I steer you wrong? The book is excerpts from a diary kept by Nikki Sixx, it is a little seedy but if you listened to music in the late 80's it's a pretty interesting read I think.

As for going over the edge, I'm not sure what Neely is talking about.

I've read "Down the Nile" by Rosemary Mahoney. It was good. I didn't know she'd written other books, so now I'm going to have to check those out.

I found this:

And Fifth, I'd already put Mitchell and Marakumi on my list of authors to investigate.Your list has been helpful to me, too, MotherHubbard! Thank you.

I discovered a little gem recently, " The Maytrees " by Annie Dillard. A restful book, perfect to unwind to and beautifully written. Its also short.

Angela Huth: Inviation to the Married Life
One of the most realistic books I've ever read.

Armel P we have very similar taste in authors! HBW is my favourite Murakami novel, though I hear 1Q84 is being released in English in it's entirety in October and have already cleared a spot in my reading diary.

Braugitan is such fun. I love The Hawkline Monster.

Ballard is great at his trippy best in books like The Unlimited Dream Company. I haven't read The Day of Creation. I'll have to check in out.

Nice!

I was blown away by Murakami. Great stuff. That book is the only one I've read so far. I think Kafka on the Shore is next for me. What do you think?

Brautigan is hilarious. I read In the Watermelon Sugar too which is equally fun. His poetry is great too. I'll check out THM.

The Day of Creation is not his most known book. Sometimes I think I'm the only one that's read it but it is pretty cool. Very bizarre. I was going to read Super Cannes next but maybe I'll go with TUDC since someone with similar taste likes it.

From what I know about you, I think you'd like Life of Pi. It's not drab or depressing. It's fairly optimistic actually, for a shipwreck story.

I've been thinking about reading this one.
