Interesting thread...I know most of the authors posted above, not all.

I have been on a bit of a retro trip as of late, re-reading many of the books the Penguins insisted I become familiar with in HS, then the college mill.

Travels With Charlie was a huge disappointment. Of Mice and Men will make a strong man cry. East of Eden, amazing. Cannery Row. Rose of Sharon Jode...wow.

Islands in the Stream was great. The Sun Also Rises was riveting.

Willa Cather's three seminal books were all excellent...unsparing.

Faulkner scares me...I read Light in August, Absalom, Absalom! and Requiem for a Nun under the covers.

Cormac is the best...every last word.

Twain...most of his stuff.

Pretty much it for the last year, with new folks sprinkled in.
