Books written in Third Person, Present tense?

[kangolNcurlz]

Any recommendations?

No sci-fi or horror. Dark fantasy is okay.

I think The Ruins might be, if memory serves.

WAKE, by Lisa McMann (and probably the sequels, as well, though I haven't read them).

Brotherly Love, by Pete Dexter

[Dr.Gonzo]

I just finished one, a beautiful book by John O'Brian. Leaving Las Vegas.

Thank you all so much! My newest wip dictates that it be written in 3rd, present. I started writing and realized how hard it is. :D So, decided I'd better get to reading.

I have Wake on the way, since it's closest to my tastes. I'll also check out the others.

Keep other recommendations coming, too!

Oh, just to clarify, I need 3rd person, present tense. I see some are in first person. But thanks for the recs anyway.

I immediately thought of this thread yesterday when I flipped open THE WINDUP GIRL, by Paolo Bacigalupi. It's definitely third person, present tense. :)

[kangolNcurlz]

Thanks. :)

I'll read some pages on Amazon.

Patricia Cornwell's latest books in her Scarpetta series have been in 3rd present tense.

[kangolNcurlz]

Thanks, threebluestars. :)

Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. It's under the sci-fi umbrella but really, I would say it's more of a psychological thriller with futuristic undertones.

[kangolNcurlz]

Thanks. I'll check it out. :)

This Book Will Save Your Life by A.M Homes.

[callalily61]

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (an AWer!). Hits shelves in Sept.

[kangolNcurlz]

Thanks all. :)

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson flips into past perfect a lot, but the prologue and many sections are true 3rd-person present tense. Many of them are military/war scenes, so the present tense works well for creating a sense of urgency, as one previous poster on your other thread touched on.

Memoirs of a Geisha. A very interesting book, and suspenseful, and I liked it. (I was also going to say something sarcastic about it but I don't want to spoil the plot.)

[kangolNcurlz]

Thanks. :)
