Ok, I can't really resist this, although I haven't posted to any other thread in over a month. Here's what's piled nearby:
James Welch (The Heartsong of Charging Elk)
Virginai Woolf (anything by her; I'm reading Between the Acts)
Aldo Alvarez (Interesting Monsters)
Greg Bear (The Force of God)
Richard Wright (Early Works)
Nevil Shute (A Town Like Alice)
Somerset Maugham (Of Human Bondage) and lots of Oliver Sacks' work. I love good science fiction--check out Cyteen by C. K. Cherryh--I've probably spelled her name wrong, and the Red/Green/Blue Mars books. I'm a sucker for Dorothy Dunnet's stuff, too--I can't get enough of her writing (historical fiction in astounding detail).
