readers advisory for all discussion

this is sort of like readers' advisory; it uses the same muscles, but it is just for fun, like mad libs...

Ok, I'd like a book that's like this song, please:

:D

hahah that's funny - i was just singing this last week, when my friend was talking about this book:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...

but she didn't know the song, so we may never know if they are similar...

OMG, how can you NOT know this song! you should send her a youtube link now.

Is this your official recommendation?

no, i don't know anything about the book, it was just a funny coincidence. i will mull it over throughout the day and get back to you. but i'm sure other people will have good ideas...

okay - this is my suggestion for you:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52...

i remember little enough about it, except it takes place ion the same time as the events of the song, and it has a christ-figure at its center, which is basically the point of that song. it is not my favorite john gardner, but i think it should invoke the same feeling... but maybe i am not good at this book/song thing. you tell me.

The link was denied when I tried it -- what was the song?

abraham, martin and john - marvin gaye.

You can't ask how I know this, but every single British No 1 from the year 1967 has had the title subsequently used as the title of a novel. And they're all YA and Romance. I thought you needed to know that.
