"...You can say anything you want, yessir, but it's the words that sing, they soar and descend.... I bow to them... I love them, I cling to them, I run them down. I bite into them, I melt them down.... I love words so much... The unexpected ones....The ones I wait for greedily or stalk until, suddenly, they drop..." -Pablo Neruda
You know Yellow...sometimes I mixed you up with Yellowlime...
Rhei..what do you mean by "senseful" ?
I thought that too. Haha. Once I mistook YellowLime's post for mine, and I desperately tried to edit his post. It took me 2 minutes to realize I had the wrong identity.Originally Posted by subterranean
I don't want to go off topic, so rhei, I suggest the books The Great Gatsby, Grapes of Wrath and Catcher in the Rye.I'll edit my post later.

It depends how long your break is and your interest in and breadth of reading experience.If you are looking for a beginner's guide to 19th century fiction in English start off with PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen; JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte; WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Bronte; DAVID COPPERFIELD by Charles Dickens and THE MILL ON THE FLOSS by George Eliot.Assuming you have read a certain number of classics, in contemporary fiction I would recommend NEVER LET ME GO by Kazuo Ishiguro;GHOSTWRITTEN by David Mitchell; THE BLACKWATER LIGHTSHIP by Colm Toibin;THE ACCIDENTAL by Ali Smith and THE SHADOW OF THE WIND by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. These are of course purely personal thoughts. Why not go for a mix? I also strongly recommend Yellowcrayola's classic American fiction trio and to bring it to five would include ETHAN FROME by Edith Wharton and GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN by James Baldwin.
