Books for a Girl Anonymous Sat Sep 4 18:42:34 2010 No.1100066 [Reply] [Original]

Hey /lit/ I need some recommendations, my girlfriend of a few years has recently taken up an interest in reading. Now, I'm trying to come up with some books that will keep her wanting to read. Any books would be great.

>>1100092
Right now shes reading something called pretty little liars, seems to have lesbian undertones.... or at least one of the characters is a lesbian. Dont know if thats the selling point though.

>>1100093
Hard to say really, she paints and shit but I dont know what bearing that will have on her reading interests.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 4 18:54:34 2010 No.1100117 >>1100094 she might go for some sci fi, depends on the book though.

>>	DeepandEdgy !pSkjEcB9sQ Sat Sep 4 18:54:34 2010 No.1100119 Little Women, Wuthering Heights, Pride & Prejudice The Female Eunuch

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 4 18:54:34 2010 No.1100120 I can only speak for myself, but this anon would have a lot easier time coming up with a recommendation if you could post a picture of her exposed asshole.

Okay after reading through this thread you should pretty much only take my advice of 'The Bloody Chamber,' fuck everyone else in this thread with their fucking Jane Austen bullshit, there is nothing more boring than reading about some victorian bitches and their Mr. Darcies

Trust me I'm a girl on the internet
