Me Talk Pretty One Day

11 people recommended this item

Description

If you don't know who David Sedaris is, you need to learn. This book, all of his books is all short stories about his family and his life. Just don't read it in public because people might think you're a little crazy when you start laughing out loud.

A Fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

You should probably read this when you're incredibly depressed about your own life. You'll then realize how much of a silly ass you are because it's nowhere near as bad as the people in this book. Set in India in the 1970's, at every point you just think that it can't get worse and then surprise! it does.

The Kite Runner: Khaled Hosseini: Books

Description

A really amazing book once you can get through the traumatic event that starts the story. Seriously, it's a little hard to take, but it's a great story after that.

I was sorta forcing myself to keep on reading this book at first, but I did get drawn into the surreal storyline! And the ending is out of this world! Worth the read!

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

First to recommend

Description

I had a lot of people hyping up 100 Years of Solitude before I read it and found it to be really disappointing. This is in my opinion the better Marquez book. Gives another meaning to "True Love Waits" that doesn't make me want to laugh.

I literally have 8 different pots or tubes of lipgloss in my purse at any given moment. It's a compulsion and I can't stop.
