Hey there, /lit/.

I'm almost done the novel 'We' by Yevgeny Zamyatin, and I come to you for some book recommendations. I realize the book is a dystopian novel, but what has really kept me reading is the tear between D-503 and I-330 and how he loves her so much and how he expressed it and how it makes him mad. I'm not a romance novel reader, but does anyone have something similar to a guy who's normal at first, but then becomes infatuated with someone or something? But not a sappy romance novel.

I hope you get what I'm saying.

The Gambler or Notes from the Underground both by Fydor Dostoevsky

Kind of the opposite, they're crazy, and stay crazy (the former) or get more crazy (the latter). Then again, I haven't read either for a while.

Oh, and Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov. Another Russian.

Cutter and Bone has a sweet b-plot. You'll probably like Keep the Aspidistra Flying too.

Manly romantic bump on OP's behalf. Also, valid genre.
