    Hello everybody. I'm looking for book recommendations with very strong writing/prose. I'm going to a bunch of used bookstores next weekend for Independent Bookstore Day. Here's a list of my favorites. Please nothing YA or Romantasy. Doesn't have to be Literary Fiction I suppose; as you'll see, I enjoy some fantasy as well.

    Favorite books:

    • Gormenghast series by Mervyn Peake
    • A Song of Ice & Fire by George RR Martin
    • Middlemarch by George Eliot
    • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
    • Warlord Chronicles series (King Arthur) by Bernard Cornwell
    • The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith
    • The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
    • The Post-Office Girl by Stefan Zweig
    • Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
    • The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

    Thank you for your ideas. I appreciate you.
