Excellent reads.

Just curious.
Recently, I've read "Out Stealing Horses" by Per Petterson, "The Gathering" by Ann Enright (Man Booker Prize winner for 2007) and "The Reserve" by Russell Banks. This morning I began "His Illegal Self" by Peter Carey. Is there anyone out there who is familiar with any of these titles? If so, I would love to hear from you--and engage in a bit of conversation.
If you are not familiar, are an avid fiction reader and looking for books that lean away from the pop mass trade type toward a more literary read, I certainly recommend at least the first three--the third I'm only beginning--. The authors are well known and the books received respectable critical acclaim.
Looking for readers on a similar wave length although my wave length shifts in all directions when it come to worthwhile reading.
