Homer & Langley by E. L. Doctorow
 Doctorow based this novel about the bond between two brothers on the actual lives of Homer and Langley Collyer. Homer is blind and Langley has been left emotionally scarred by the First World War. Together, they live out their unconventional lives in a decaying townhouse on New York's posh Fifth Avenue and the disapproval from their neighbors increases proportionately with the deterioration of the building. Quirky and endearing, but there is an unmistakable thread of sadness that is woven throughout the book.
