She also liked Dune and is forever a fan of Douglas Adams.

Anything you'd suggest for her?


For long, intricate stories, I'd recommend F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack series (mystery/crime-solving plus supernatural elements) and John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee novels (found in the mystery section, and you're not beholden to starting with the first one and reading in order, though you can). Andrew Vachss' Burke stories are self-contained but reference past novels, so you'd be better off reading them in order.
