If we already have a LFB thread somehwere and I missed it, sorry, just move this there.
I'm looking for any recommendations for really unique books. The type of stories that truly are different, or contain something really different, from what you expect in those sort of novels.
(There's a mini-rant below, and was the tipping point that pushed me to stop trying to wade through all the crappy books to find the jewels. I hid it because I find it whiny, cause I'm a whiny person, but I didn't want to delete if after going to the trouble of actually typing it.)
You know those books we've probably all read? They go like this, 'really bitter bad-ass guy,' meets 'really compassionate female,' 'female and male will then somehow get into each other's pants by the 5th chapter usually,' 'story ends all happily,' usually with some more sex along the way. The characters really haven't changed in any way(like they're made of rubber or something) the only difference in their life being they've found each other...yay.
(Yes I'm a picky, picky person, didn't use to be, but I've found myself being really picky with my reading material lately.)
