Can anybody recommend a book, written in the first person, past tense. With a male main character. The genre and plot are not important, but a well written example of a first person past tense novel would be useful. Thanks in advance.
Caught, Tell No One and The Woods by Harlan Coben. (and probably more, but those are the only ones I've read by him yet.)
I Know This Much Is True, Wally Lamb Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky (sp?) Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell (mostly) Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Mark Haddon Daisy Miller, Henry James If you wanted to go nonfiction/humor/memoir-y, David Sedaris and Bill Bryson.
Try Chuck Black's "Kingdom Series" I don't remember what book is in first person (I think its "Kingdom's Reign" which I believe is also the last book in that series), but he does use first person.
The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Start with Storm Front. Vegas Knights by Matt Forbeck. And, if you're a fan of military science fiction, The Eisenhorn Omnibus by Dan Abnett. All are good reads.
I'll tell you what not to read. Truesight, by some author I can't remember. It has one of those endings that are both good, and bad, and finished but not finished. Hate those fuckers.
"Norwegian Wood" - Haruki Murakami "The Celestine Prophecy" - James Redfield (haven't read this last one though, so I can't tell more than it is the things you required)
