Did you mean A Little Life (my favorite novel I read last year). |

Just finishes A Thousand Lives, about the Jonestown Massacre. Really interesting.

I'm reading A Little Life right now and it's killing me. I can't put it down and yet have to take breaks because it's so upsetting. I knew it was going to be upsetting and I am reading it now anyway. If any of you are out there who like a good, sad read, this is it. |

I have been morbidly fascinated by Jonestown since I ran across the movie they made about it with Edward James Olmos. I was probably in middle school? |

Do you like mysteries? Louise Penny has a great series set in Canada. Not too gory (I hate gore).
Connie Willis is great for sci/fi fantasy -- mostly screwball comedy-type fantasy. Start with The Doomsday Book. Mystery set after WWI -- Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear. A series about a former maid turned sleuth. Sci-fi -- everything by John Scalzi, especially Old Man's War. Love that one. Time-travel -- In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker (the 1st in a series about The Company, a mysterious organization that sends time travelers back and forth for reasons known only to them -- thrilling). Mystery - Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie King, about a young woman who meets Sherlock Holmes and becomes his protege. |
