Let's say that I'm a 21 year old art forger from a dainty New England town who spends his days listening to Nick Drake and Stockhausen, smoking fish, gardening with his neighbours, and habitually creating a new form of literary prose. What sort of books would you recommend?

Robertson Davies' What's bred in the Bone- or why not the entire Cornish Trilogy? Clearly, youve got the time.

Much thanks!

I do meet these early fall evenings with more time now. Last spring, my beautiful wife, Cheree, passed on to the phantom world. Late at night, I walk my stream to our university's lake. Ah! To be young again. With my darling's sweater hugged arms holding me close.

What even is the point of this thread? I also come up with elaborate and specific fantasies but I never post them here.
