The different books

[jesika]

Have you ever read books which are very different than everything you've read before. Not only the content and the characters but mainly in the way they are written. A friend of mine gave me to read his book before he publish it(i am not sure maybe it's been published already) and honestly it hit me like nothing before. Has the same thing happened to you? Tell me who are the authors.

"The sound and the fury" by William Faulkner is a good example for i "different" book:) Don't you think?

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon, A Personal Matter by Kenzaburo Oe, are two that come to mind. Also, The Nose, a novella by Nicholai Gogol.

Why not go to the "Introduction" thread and let us know a little bit about you, jesika? :)

Another different book that i have been reading recently is "Poltic" by Michael Ikevos. It is at least three times more complicated and strange than everything i've ever read but i like it:)

Haruki Murakami's novels are one-of-a-kind. All of them are not your run-of-the-mill novels that tackle the same topics and plots over and over again. Chuck Palanhiuk's pieces are also different. I highly recommend these authors. Their novels are worth reading.
