Nevermore by Kelly Creagh. Still one of my favourites from when I was a teen. No one I know has read it and she deserves more attention as a YA author.

The bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrič. Historical fiction covering a long history of a Bosnian town called Viśegrad. It’s really really neat, straightforward, and moving.
Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac. An insanely experimental stint on a mountain starts out this fantastic novel. After those first 75 pages you descend away from the madness and mysticism of solitude and skip bars in San Francisco with Jack and friends in 1950’s San Francisco. Later you head on down to Mexico City and have wild experiences – drug deals, hookers and street urchins. Then NYC. It’s wild and loving. Then Tangiers in Morocco with the wild hashish and the disagreeable William Burroughs. Head in over to London before going home to America. It’s all written in a non formal and very playful language. One of the best novels I have ever read as far as prose goes. It’s not a book about wisdom really. It’s an aesthetic piece of work.
