any good (fiction) book suggestions?

here’s a list of the books i’ve finished reading so far. any recommendations are most welcome.

As you may know, Setterfield’s novels has gothic echoes. Try ‘Jane Eyre’, the famed Charlotte Brontë novel, or ‘Wuthering Heights’, the only novel by Emily Brontë. Also, ‘Uncle Silas’, by ‘J. Sheridan Le Fanu’, may be appropriate (being a similar style to Setterfield, too).

Out of Martin’s plays/novellas/stories, you may want to read ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’, a play about the meeting of Einstein and Picasso in Montmartre. Might be worth a look.

For the rest, I’ll just list similar books…

Chbosky – White Oleander by Janet Fitch (a good coming-of-age novel, like Chbosky)
Hand – never heard of her… sorry…
Murakami – The Elephant Vanishes (similar to previous works of his)
Krauss – Man Walks Into A Room (her only other work)
Suskinde – The Pigeon (by him), quite good.

Otherwise from that, I recommend to anyone ‘The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly’. About Jean-Dominique Bauby, the late editor of Elle magazine, who got into an accident and got locked-in syndrome. He was paralysed completely except his eyelid. With this eyelid he ‘dictated’ the book (with the help of his assistant and family). It is a phenomenal read. It makes you fall in love with life.
