I loved those two books! 
These days I read mostly essay books... But the last book I read "Set Your Heart On Fire" by Raphael Cushnir.

If you want twisted, read Karin Slaughter's, "Like A Charm." VERY disturbing, but sooooo good. Dearly beloved H.P. Lovecraft would be proud.

Actually, I'm re-reading the original 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea by Verne. It's been decades since I looked at it. It's ....different...

I've read "The Bluest Eye." Kind of depressing, and Steinbeck is the King Of Misery. Wow...
