The Novel Cure. Your suggestions.
"The Novel Cure" is a book which recommends novels for various ailments and life hassles. I was just looking through the Kindle sample on Amazon when I came across the issue:
"age gap between lovers"
The author of this book recommends "A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian" by Marina Lewycka.
My immediate thought was Tom Sharpe's "The Great Pursuit" which I'm reading in a tatty old paperback at the moment.

What books would you recommend for certain ailments and issues?

Abandonment: Robinson Crusoe
Bad temper: Wuthering Heights
Ageing, horror of: Picture of Dorian Grey
Fear of ghosts: The Canterville Ghost

Any others?
