‘I always recommend Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide, because it's nothing like anything that person will have read before and also by the time they find out there are five books in the 'trilogy' they'll be too hooked to stop.’

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
by Douglas Adams
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been a radio show, TV show, stage play, comic book and film, and is a work of utter comic genius. A comedy sci-fi classic, this laugh-out-loud romp through space sees protagonist Arthur Dent narrowly escape the destruction of Earth by hitching a ride on a spaceship with his alien best friend Ford Prefect. If nothing else, this book will at least remind you to never forget a towel.

‘At 624 pages, I initially worried it might be a little pretentious to recommend Wellness, but pretentious is exactly what this book isn’t. I think it gets to the heart of what makes us human and dissects the strange world we live in, in a truly affecting and relatable way. I’m not sure it’s fair to say I’ve always recommended this book as it only came out five months ago, but ask most of my friends, family and colleagues and I think they would agree that I’ve more than made up for the first twenty-six Wellness-recommendation-less years of my life in that time. ’

Wellness
by Nathan Hill
How does a relationship formed in the '90s survive in the increasingly futuristic-feeling 2010s? Coming up against polyamorous would-be suitors, Facebook wars and cults disguised as mindfulness support groups, Jack and Elizabeth must face their separate demons in order to stay together. Moving from the gritty '90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home renovation hysteria, Wellness mines the absurdities of modern technology and modern love to reveal profound, startling truths about intimacy and connection.
If this sounds like your thing, you'll probably want to look at our other brilliant literary fiction too.
