These are the kind of stories I think we all want to read sometimes. When I watch a Wes Anderson movie, I expect to cry a little, to laugh a bit, and to think about the film for a while afterwards. The same goes for the books on this list. There are sad-happy stories, and happy-sad stories with families and friendships, and eccentric characters, and passages that you will have to read a few times just so you can think about them later. Who knows, maybe there’s a Wes Anderson adaptation of one of these books on the horizon? Nearly all of Fredrik Backman’s works would fit neatly on this list; consider them unofficial picks. What books do you think fit into the Wes Anderson world? I can’t wait to see what’s next for one of my favorite directors!
