So, I have always struggled with fiction.... I am an addicted reader but exclusively non-fiction. I have tried many fiction reads with no success. I have finished some and threw others back on the shelf in frustration.
I have typically grabbed books that align with my movie preference which is action/suspense. I always tell my wife, "more than one person must die from something other than natural causes for me to watch the movie."
Well.... I feel a bit ashamed to say that I have really enjoyed a recent fiction recommendation that was offered to me. The book is The Moviegoer by Walker Percy. It is nothing like what I would expect to enjoy but his writing style engulfs me. There is an element of prose to it that I have come across in contemporary writing. Maybe some you are familiar with it and can help me with some further recommendations.
And yes, I most enjoy reading (whether fiction or non-fiction) with my peterson stuffed with navy flake.
Thanks.
