i'm looking for a certain kind of book for my summer holiday to read, i want to read something about escaping to a diferent country or running away, maybe something like the story line to thelma and louise. i read a book a few years ago called The Last Chance Cafe and it was kind of similar to this kind of genre, it was about a girl who goes to visit an aunt for the whole of her summer holiday and meets all these great people at the last chance cafe.

If anyone can recommend something that fits this kind of genre it will be greatly appreciated, it dosent matter if its fiction or a biography.

Umm..Sayonara Bar.....I forget that author.

It's good, it's not exactly what you're looking for but it's a page-turner, light, entertaining read about a foreign hostess in Tokyo.

Great read.

"Under the Tuscan Sun" is this absolutely amazing movie that makes me think it came from a book. You could check into that. This woman gets divorced, then goes to Italy to "visit," but ends up impulsively buying a house and just staying there. Part of the appeal of the movie was the atmosphere and the beautiful landscape, so I'm not sure if the book's as good. She tries to find love and has a hard time making it, but it's one of those stories that really sticks with you, about how you can find happiness even if things aren't "perfect" like you envisioned them to be.

That's all I could think of.

Hey, I just googled it and it does in fact come from a book!

thanks i will check both of those out now on amazon, have you ever read any books about running away from home?

Generation x by Douglas Coupland, is sort of along those lines. It's about a group of people who move to the nevada (i think) desert to escape the regular way of life, nothing holding them down & stuff.

It's a good book
