Ok - I like to think that i am an intelligent woman - albeit that that intelligence hasn't been used to its full potential recently and a fair amount of it has gone into hibernaton ...
So lets start with something that may trigger a small amount of interest:
intelligent novels that I have enjoyed:
Well - lets go back some years then:
Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 101
Margaret Atwood - the handmaids tale (and almost every other MA novel since, incidently)
Charlotte Bronte- Jane Eyre
Theodor Storm - Der Schimmelreiter
Phile K Dick the man in the high castle
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - JRR Tolkein
The Narnia books - CS Lewis
Mary Shelley - Frankenstein
Charles Dickens - A tAle of Two Cities
" " - Oliver Twist
That will do to be getting on with - most of these were read before I turned 22 (some read at least twice before I turned 15) - So we have a healthy mix of classic fantasy and Sci Fi, classic english literature and 20th century classics. at this point I am not sure whether I will go on to expand the list and bring it more up to date (well there's an extra 15 years worth, at least, for me to remember) - or to set forth on what has connected me to each one - if anyone is out there then let me know what you prefer, otherwise wait and see!
