Unthinkable Thoughts of Joshua Green was very good-though I sort of forget what happens in it. But I did really like it and I bet you will too! Hey, I had no idea Mark Haddon had another book out. I have not read any John Irving. As for the rest of his books…your local library can get you pretty much anything!
Depending on what type of fiction you like, Earl Emerson is a great author. Since he knows all about his subjects, it turns out to be some great books.
Such blatant salesmanship! I looked it up on Amazon , and the book looks good. Hi- I found you randomly when I searched for Solzhenitsyn and when I read you had heard of him first for the same reason I had to keep reading! Thanks so much for the suggestions. You are right to want to read Haruki Murakami, I have read all his novels and they are wonderful. The Wind-Up Bird Chronical made me need glasses! Norwegian Wood is divine.
As for John Irving, please read him, too, although some of his work is not so great imho. His early work Garp, Hotel New Hampshire, etc. It covers a lot of terrain and a lot of topics. It is beautifully written and packs an emotional wallop.
I tend to read somewhat lighter fair, but I do like a heavy book from time to time and this one has left a lasting impact with me. Thanks much for the suggestion, but I already read this book. OK, well, do you have a second favorite book? I got lost in life before getting a chance to write back. Again, nothing hair-raisingly difficult, but fun nonetheless. Thank you very much.
