All my books come from used bookstores and thrift books, so most of what I've read is classics or stuff that I just recognized the names of. I want to read some more current authors but I have no Idea where to start. I tend to like bleak literary fiction.
Some of my favorite books are Kurt Vonnegut – Cat's Cradle, Ken Kesey – Sometimes a Great Notion, Faulkner – As I Lay Dying, PKD – A Scanner Darkly, Hemmingway – The Sun Also Rises, Chinua Achebe – Things Fall Apart, Dennis Cooper – Closer, Irvine Welsh – Trainspotting
My favorite author overall is Kurt Vonnegut. I've read most of his books.
I'm trying to find authors who are active now and good books that have released in the last few years so I can be a bit less stuck in the past. Also, branching out from old white men would probably do me well.
