I just finished 'All the little animals', this dude on Amazon has perfected a decent review of it, "Walker Hamilton's un-classifiable first novel published in 1969. This novel shows a extraordinary and singular vision. Written from the perspective of a retarded 35 year old man-child who runs away from home. The main character meets up with a strange old man who collects and buries 'all the little animals' who have been run over by cars on the English country lanes. This is a touching, believable and very insightful work. A truly remarkable first novel that is at times shocking, dark and even humourous, will satisfy readers who love to explore literature."

Wow, I like the sound of this one.

anything by Patrick Suskind! he is amazing. IF you don't speak german, that's okay..his books are translated really well.
