sorry my mistake. i just want to say that love is not the solution for all thing. : (
I think I do agree with your opinion, love does not the solution of all think. There are more than that in this world other than love and romance and stuff like that. Would you mind to be my friend cause i think we are in the same cup of tea : 0
Dear Alena, someone who has Diana Wynne Jones, Barbara Kingsolver and Jane Yolen on their bookshelf is obviously a kindred spirit! I found you by your note on DWJ on 'YA Books that Adults Should Read' and thought you sounded like my kind of person. I'm a writer and a passionate reader - hope you will like to become friends!

Yeah I have seen it, I love it. Still haven't read most of Gaiman's stuff, though. Stardust was good, but I think it's a very different genre from American Gods and Neverwhere.
Oh! And Coraline by Neil Gaiman is fantastic.
Books I've read recently without a romantic interest... Riddles of Epsilon by Christine Morton-Shaw isn't bad. It's sort of reminiscent of Tamsin by Peter S. Beagle. I also enjoyed The Wind Singer by William Nicholson (though I think the sequel has romance) and City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau.You could also look into Patricia A. McKillip, because I don't think her books are very romantic, but I can't really remember... I liked Alphabet of Thorn by her.
Transmetropolitan -- a comic now available in a series of graphic novels -- is cynical, bitter, hopeful, profoundly idealistic and full of the rage of someone watching the world. It is sad, beautiful, ugly, and ultimately, uplifting. And I'm pretty sure nobody falls in love... or if they do, it's not particularly romantic and it does not save the day.
