A hapless man starts over in bleak, beautiful Newfoundland. Proulx's prose is like nothing else, and I'd follow it anywhere.

Lonesome Dove (Lonesome Dove, #1)
Larry McMurtry
Two aging Texas Rangers drive cattle to Montana, and somehow it's 900 pages I never wanted to end. Funny, brutal, and completely alive.
A Complicated Kindness
Miriam Toews
A sharp, funny teenage girl chafing against her strict Mennonite town. Toews makes you laugh and ache at once.
I Capture the Castle
Dodie Smith
Narrated by 17-year-old Cassandra, writing from the crumbling castle her eccentric, broke family calls home. One of the most charming coming-of-age novels there is.
