ruben Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi nice people, I'm looking for something which has great (or funny, recognizable) characters and no redundant descriptions. Preferably easy to get through, yet stays in your head. Also an everyday setting would be great, like a school for example. In short: light but still with literary qualities.Authors I like are Rober B. Parker (for the characters and plot, I'm not per se a detective reader), Nick Hornby, even Jane Austen. Thanks a bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueK Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hmm, when you mention the school setting my mind immediately goes to "Goodbye Mr Chips" by James Hilton. It is a short book but I think will tick the boxes you require. Characters staying with you; literary qualities; good plotting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidsmum Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 What about The History Boys Alan Bennett, it's a play though so not sure if that would put you off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Mabel Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 what about One For the Money (a long, on-going series) book from Janet Evanovich. Fun, easy to read, stays with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
