Question: My sister goes through books like I do cheeseburgers. She liked Out and someone's number series (each title had the corresponding number -- unlikely detective woman solving murders accidentally, I think).
James Patterson.
Not that I've read any of them, as unlike his earlier stuff, Patterson has long given up on writing anything interesting or entertaining.
Quote:
She read the entire Harry Potter series in about a week or two, and is looking for another series like it (really long, intricate stories that she can really get into). She also liked Dune and is forever a fan of Douglas Adams.
Anything you'd suggest for her?
JM beat me to the punch, but Vachss' series is excellent and dark. I would also reccomend Stephen King as his books are usually a couple hundred pages ( anywhere from 500-800) and are creepy and good - though, try his earlier stuff as it is better. Bag of Bones - is a favorite that has a twist than the usual horror fare.
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
