Great Books to Read?

Question

I'm a 30 y.o. woman and I really enjoyed Clan of the Cave Bear series, Hitchhiker's Guide, The Red Tent, Da Vinci Code and anything by Barbara Kingsolver or Dean Koontz. Any other suggestions? Thanks! : )

Answer 1

Angels and Demons - It's the prequel to the DaVinci Code

Answer 2

Im 23:

Shes Come Undone - Wally Lamb

ALL Jodi Picoult books!

Answer 3

Stop immediately reading that kind of "literature", and grab some Nietzsche, Freud, Poe, Lovecraft, Breton, Kafka, Wilde, Blake. Best of luck.

Answer 4

Here's a pile of great stuff for you to check out.
