Who would have guessed? I wonder if you asked people to match the list with the writer, if anyone could.
King and I have many reading-loves in common! Strange.
It's surprising how pulp-y DFW was. I read McTeague recently for its San Francisco flavor, and although it evokes a certain something about its time and place, it is far from being a great book from my vantage.
