Ktrn Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'd like to read something substantial but with a positive tone, or humorous in an intelligent way. I'm in the mood for it, I feel slightly fed up with well-written but pessimistic stuff (Kafka, Palahniuk), but I really don't want to end up reading chick lit... Which is also pretty much how I ended up registering on this site - I don't know where else to seek advice x) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Jasper Fforde'sThursday Next series, or his Nursery Crimes Division books I can definitely recommend as well written, up lifting, intelligent and humourous. For some reason Julian Rathbone is also coming to mind. I have read his 'Last English King', 'A Very English Agent'and 'Kings Of Albion'and enjoyed them very much as humourous and intelligent historical reads. Terry Pratchett's works I can also always recommend. Hope that helps to get you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
