I'm a big fan of Emile Zola (The Earth, Germinal, L'Assomoire (?), Nana
Thomas Hardy (novels and short stories)
Joseph Heller (Something Happened, Catch 22)
OS Card's earlier stuff
Tom Robbins (Another Roadside Attraction, Only Cowgirls Get the Blues)
JP Sartre (The Reprieve, Age of Reason, Troubled Sleep)
Richard Llewellyn (How Green Was My Valley--love the language)
Whoever wrote Thomas Covenant
Vargas Llosa (The War of the End of the World)
In the Heart of the Sea--the best non-fiction book I've read in the last 10 years. "They were 92 days in the boat."
Gore Vidal's historical novels (Julian, Creation)
Jack London
Somerset Maugham's short stories






I just hate George Eliot and dislike Charles Di*kens. JF Cooper is unreadable. Anything with magic realism in it.
