Carson McCullers, 'The heart is a lonely hunter'
It's been mentioned on the list before, and that's why I read it - may I
take the opportunity of thanking whoever it was that mentioned it, as it
is the best thing I have read for such a long time.  It is very belle and
sebastian, really sensitive and touching...  Is her other stuff as good?

Other books I'd recommend:
	Dostoevsky - Netochka Nesvanova
	Hermann Hesse - Gertrude

that's all for now
