Something melancholic and preferably set in winter to fit the theme, I was thinking maybe some Dostoevsky, but looking for suggestions. by Corrylahey Related: Literaturre from Ireland/U.K. Books where unsettling/new/unexpected customs and tribal groups emerge Classics/contemporary fiction from the German speaking region Books with a ocean setting (beach town, elements of surfing/free diving/ whales would be cool! ) A book that will blow my mind
