Question: Need Book Recommendations!?
Don't Like - Harry Potter,Lord of the Rings,Romance,Fantasy or Sci Fi

I Like - Black Comedy, Fiction, basically books someone with a personality of a male Daria or Jane (from daria) or Janeane Garofalo would like that dont fall under the above categories


I AM AN ADULT MALE so also try and limit recommendations to age appropriate stuff

I have a dry and sarcastic sense of humor!.I also want books on the more unconventional side, because I get bored with the same old thing all the time!.I also want something that is a bit of an easy read because I have a short attention span but not too easy or I'd get bored with it!.However I also want something that isn't too predictable because I don't like things I can see the ending a mile away!.

Just finished Reading - Ella Minnow Pea, The MezzanineWww@QuestionHome@Com

Anything by Clive Barker!. Fantastic fantasy/horror writer!.
I'd especially recommend Weaveworld and The Books of Blood!.

also, Douglas Coupland is a fantastic writer!. Check out JPod, it's a really funny, well written, interesting novel!.

also, if you aren't opposed to comics/graphic novels, Watchmen is amazing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Tom Robbin's Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates!.!.!.it's a bit strange, but it's easy to read, hilarious, kinda sexy, and it's actually good literature not just pop lit!. (plus it's johnny depp's fav book)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try "The Catcus Eaters" by Dan White!.!.

It's about a guy and his girlfriend getting stranded in a desert!. It's very funny and appealing to the adult audience!. Dry humor is a plus in this title!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
