ReplyDeleteMiddlesex is a good read. I read The Left Hand of Darkness for my Science Fiction class last year, it was interesting but a bit dry at times. Watchmen the comic book and movie are great. I love Jack London.
ReplyDeleteOff the top of my head, I think you would enjoy:
- Funny Boy by Shyam Selvaduri
- The Front Runner by Patricia Nell Warren
- Dream Boy by Jim Grimsley (if you like sad endings, but definitely one of my favourites)
- Maurice by E.M. Forster
I'm currently working through the Sword of Truth series (fantasy stuff xD)
Hey Carola,
ReplyDeleteI've read Funny Boy before - not the others though. Thanks for the recommendations. I bought Left Hand of Darkness but I still haven't started the others :/.
