I posted this in another thread:
Arto Paaslinilla. Read whatever you can find of him. One of the very best contemporary authors. |

Has anyone ever heard of that one To Kill a Mockingbird? It was pretty good, if dry.

Je Fa wrote: I've read a bunch of his work, and have met him in person. He's all about studying subjects from a philosophical perspective, so his works can get pretty esoteric. But if you're curious, start with his breakout book, How Proust Can Change Your Life, then maybe The Consolations Of Philosophy.

Belated thanks to the poster or posters who recommended Simon Beckett and Stuart MacBride last year when I was just lurking.
I just started "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" because of this thread. I love murder mysteries, if you have any more suggestions... |

:: puts Michael Perry on the list ::
OK, so I need to quit reading about the Crusades. I had a dream about Pope Urban the other night, and he isn't even the right Pope at the time of the (AWESOME!) book I'm reading. My subconscious is retarded. |

i'm reading Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth right now and I love it.
i really liked Christopher Rice's "Snow Garden' but it's kinda gay-themed...but it's great though... |

I thought it was just my fabulous personality. Jerk.
Anyway, I'm excited for "Pygmy" to come out. I always knew you couldn't trust foreign exchange students with their cute little accents and funny little ways. "I have to pray THIS way". |
