DW, Reading your post gave me a start. Just the other day I was thinking about a statement you made about liking depressing novels. I was wondering how serious you were and why if true, you might be drawn to depressing works. And then I thought, "ah, he needs to read William Faulkner's "Sound and the Fury." I loved this book, so beautiful and so tragic. And here you are reading Falkner.

I've enjoyed a few of Pratchett's "disc world" books. He's a very funny writer. I was sad to hear that Pratchett was recently diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's.

I'm reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton and Gabriel García Márquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude. Still struggling to get through Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles, though...

I absolutely adored One Hundred Years of Solitude. I am now moving on to War and Peace and The Count of Monte Cristo for history class - to get a good idea of the 'Zeitgeist' in the (post) Napoleontic age.
After that, I don't know. Does anyone have good suggestions?
