Fiction recommendations.

[mrissa]

I've been going through the fiction on my library list at an alarming rate, because I'm not interspersing it with nonfiction at the moment. Don't know when I'll get my ability to read nonfiction back, but it doesn't seem to go well with the vertigo. So in the meantime: what fiction should I read? Recommend something, or more than one something. If I've already read it, that's okay; I'll tell you, and you can recommend something else, or not, as you like.

I read books aimed at any age of person. The main genre constraint I have is that I tend to bounce hard off genre romance, and horror and traditional westerns are not generally my cup of tea.

In other news, Ista is really not at all thrilled with this entire holiday, and she's alternating between running around wanting to figure out what those noises are and trying to stay hidden and safe behind the living room couch.

I watched the first half of Good Night and Good Luck with today's workout. Seemed appropriate. Happy Independence Day, all those of you who celebrate it today.

I'm looking at the boundaries of what nonfiction works myself, but I mostly wanted fiction recs.

Did a Ransome reread not so long ago. Well, all the ones with the Amazons in, anyway. I suppose I could go back and read Coot Club and We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea and The Big Six -- except I don't even own The Big Six, because I'm sort of permanently in No Amazons, No Good mode there. Probably I should get it for completeness's sake at some point. Probably I should replace my copy of Winter Holiday before it falls completely into rags.
