it was a long relationship and we'd been living in different places for a while and just growing apart
i guess that kind of made it harder because there wasn't a fight or anything and all of a sudden we hated each other
we just sort of both realized it wasn't going to work anymore

Yeah, I've read Anna Karenina and Crime and Punishment and loved them both.
I like Murakami and Delillo a lot too.
I'm open to suggestions.

I might suggest Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's up-beat, and very funny

If you hate her, read something like The Girls, by Montherlant. If you love her, read some pity literature like White Nights.

The Left Hand of Darkness. Find out how much easier things would be if there were just one gender, no men or women. Not really any easier.
