It's dedicated to Wrimos and is the story of a newbie author and her not-explicitly-called-NaNo-but-totally-NaNovel. I'm interested to see how your newly-published experience and hers match up :)<br /><br />Also, anything but Lord of the Flies. I've hated that book since sophomore year of high school. You can get better human interaction information out of any psych textbook. "Silver Linings Playbook" has a good quote about it: http://www.sheafontana.com/post/38498602869/todays-script-readEtoilinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348484666219343927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342234959286487420.post-33705346722007038312015-01-05T15:11:27.769-06:002015-01-05T15:11:27.769-06:00Added, for sure!

Its written by a woman, has non human characters, is set in the future and can possibly be read in a day.<br />But don't just take my word for it.

But the thing is, it's still on-going how will you know when you're done?<br /><br />As for prose, the last great book I read (prior to Superheroes Anonymous, of course) was The Art of Fielding, by Chad Harbach. Doesn't really fit into any of the categories you need, but figured I'd just throw it out there.singlewalkrunhttp://singlewalkrun.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342234959286487420.post-60346212263363218062015-01-05T13:19:41.735-06:002015-01-05T13:19:41.735-06:00I'll join you in your quest, but there's o...I'll join you in your quest, but there's only one book I didn't read in school and I'M NOT GONNA READ IT NOW!

Nope, no way! *stomps foot* All the others no problem, but that one will be my out :)<br />As for classic romances, all the Jane Austen ones are fun and fast reads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342234959286487420.post-58737977887376991832015-01-05T13:11:23.453-06:002015-01-05T13:11:23.453-06:00Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie, for book wi...Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie, for book with a colour in it.
