I barely read anything other than fantasy or Chinese books. >.<

Tasting the Sky was a nice book, if not leaning a bit towards historical fiction.

Jake, you could also check these out by yourself.

How about the outsiders or Gone with the Wind?

Another great book, but I doubt she'd like it, would be a clockwork orange. One of the best books/movies of all time.

I know. One of the best I've ever read. But I would HIGHLY recommend anything written by Ken Follett. Such a great author.

Alright, dump the girl and read hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.


Quote:
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the
western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an
utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose apedescended life
forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are
a pretty neat idea.
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of
the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions
were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned
with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on
the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most
of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big
mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said
that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have
left the oceans.
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had
been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to
people for a change, one girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in
Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all
this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and
happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have
to get nailed to anything.
Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about
it, a terribly stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever.
This is not her story.
But it is the story of that terrible stupid catastrophe and some of
its consequences.
It is also the story of a book, a book called The Hitch Hiker's Guide
to the Galaxy - not an Earth book, never published on Earth, and until the
terrible catastrophe occurred, never seen or heard of by any Earthman.
Nevertheless, a wholly remarkable book.
in fact it was probably the most remarkable book ever to come out of
the great publishing houses of Ursa Minor - of which no Earthman had ever
heard either.
Not only is it a wholly remarkable book, it is also a highly
successful one - more popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better
selling than Fifty More Things to do in Zero Gravity, and more
controversial than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical blockbusters
Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes and Who is this
God Person Anyway?
In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of
the Galaxy, the Hitch Hiker's Guide has already supplanted the great
Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and
wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is
apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more
pedestrian work in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words Don't
Panic inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.
But the story of this terrible, stupid Thursday, the story of its
extraordinary consequences, and the story of how these consequences are
inextricably intertwined with this remarkable book begins very simply.
It begins with a house.



Not even trolling, it's worth it. It ridicules pretty much everything in existence. Once you read it, you will never want a girlfriend again.

You also automatically qualify for entering the Circle.


If you insist on going for the girl... Well, first of all, shame on you.

You are whipped.


Second of all... Is she fond of British or American comedy?

Catcher in the Rhye is good, if you haven't bothered with it yet which you probably have. A Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is good... If you insist on some funny non-deep spam-tastic story, I heard Icanhascheezburger.com released a book. :lol:


No, seriously.

Doubt she'd like them, but you might like works by Chuck Palahniuk. His writing can be hilarious, albeit in a black manner. They're fairly easy to read as well, as he tries to write as people like to speak (short sentences with limited vocabulary that mimics the way people actually talk).

Good ones to start with would be Fight Club, or Diary :)
