"This is the book that every searching twenty-something needs. The sense of humor is spot on, and the book turned me on to Norwegian literature as a whole, though unfortunately not much of Erlend Loe’s work has been translated."

Sarah (7798 KP) is asking for a recommendation

Recommend Me
This has absolutely nothing to do with media or literature, but I'm hoping there's no harm in asking!

I'm going to Venice in a month and am looking for recommendations for bars, cafes and restaurants - anyone been and can recommend anywhere please?
     

"I'm so drawn to Salinger's view of society back then, and to his sarcasm. I read Catcher in the Rye first, then [Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour]. I don't think there's ever been anything like these characters in American literature."
