geoffreyallen Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am looking for a nice present for my dad for christmas, he likes Izhiguro, John Fowles, Castaneda, but he read most of them all , anything new perhaps you could recommend him?

geoffreyallen Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 it doesnt have to be from the authors but perhaps something similar , he loves Paul Auster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I could only think of a few authors, but none of them really 'do'. Anthony Burgess, Boris Starling, Robert Harris and William Boyd. A site that might be able to take you further is fantasticfiction. I have linked this through to the Paul Auster 'page'. At the end of each author's 'page' there are two listings; recommendations by the author themselves, and what other viewers have gone on to look at from that page. Hope that helps.

Ruth Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I quite like this site: http://www.literature-map.com/ If you type in the name of one of your dad's favourite authors, it will bring up a lot of similar authors. Those closest to the name you typed in are those considered most like him/her. Hope this helps:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I've just added that site to my favourites, it looks really good. I think I'll be spending some time on there. Thanks Ruth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
