LoveUni: I have an inclination towards horrors and thrillers
Ah...then you must get and read Imajica by Clive Barker. I have lost track of the number of times I have read the book and I wouldn't hesitate to read it again. Haha! I had never heard of Clive Barker (seriously) before I read Imajica and after the third reading, I looked the book up and found out that it was considered to be horror genre.
Another novel that I have read more than once is Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann. The novel is set in New York City at the time that the Trade Towers were being built. Excellent story telling and all inspired by a single photograph taken of a man tightrope walking between the unfinished towers.
This next novel is not for the faint of heart - The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson. It took me a long time to get through this novel - it is brutal and absolutely mind shattering. The novel is set in North Korea. A very difficult read but excellently told.
I am currently reading a book - not really a novel - called The Underground Girls of Kabul: In Search of a Hidden Resistance in Afghanistan by Jenny Nordberg. A fascinating look inside Afghan culture and how some girls are raised as boys until they are of child bearing age.
Have fun reading, LoveUni...if you get bored with the fictional life of a novel, you can always revert to accounts of true crime.
