Bear
Kind of a strange adult coming-of-age type of story where a woman gets into a relationship (of sorts) with a bear. I love reading about taboo subjects so this was right up my alley. The story is not nearly as graphic or obscene as it sounds, it has somewhat of a quiet, introspective atmosphere and is mostly about a woman doing some soul-searching with the help of a furry companion. My edition came with an afterword that discusses some of the themes in the book which is worth a read.
