Books

She's Come Undone, by Wally Lamb- Book about a girl who's life falls slowly apart, and only through rebirth and trial and error does she finally seem to understand the meaning behind it all. I'm not sure I'd recommend this to people, since it was slightly overwhelming/underwhelming.

Prince of Tides, by Pat Conroy- Good book. Really good language. Slightly sketchy plot, but otherwise really good. Great relationships, great understanding of the human mind and life. Definitely would recommend this to people.

The Corrections, by Jonathan Franzen- Good and bad. Probably wouldn't recommend it, either, due to its mundane-ness, but the language is pretty intriguing, and the characters are definitely characters.
