    Hello. I'm just finishing up a course at college all about Madness narrative. Almost every book we read finished with no real ending. Very interpretive meanings of the books. We've read: Mrs. Dalloway, The Crying of Lot 49, Lieutenant Gustl, The Yellow Wallpaper, Man of the Crowd, The Horla, The Double, The Body Artist, The Metamorphosis, and The Judgement, just to name a few. If anybody wants to discuss any of these books or know more about them because they were enjoyable reads, let me know.

    Also, I want to know about any books that you like that end in very concrete ways. I've just about had it with all these books ending unresolved and I want to know some good fiction readings that have come out recently. I know about the classics, I want to know about good recent works.

    Oooh, I always liked The Yellow Wallpaper. Haven't thought about that one since high school. I really should read it again.

    Hmm, have you read One Hundred Years of Solitude? Gabriel García Márquez. At the risk of giving too much away, the ending is definitely concrete and you kind of see it coming the whole time, but it's still mindboggling to say the least! :derpe:
