The Gentleman in Moscow and The Idiot are my fav books of all time (Russia tie is just a coincidence). Dune is pretty high up there as well. I like John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, and Jane Austin. I can't stand Dickens.
What should I read next? I haven't had a new favorite author in a while. Contemporary suggestions most welcome as I've read most of the classics.
Some books I've read recently and my yay or nay on them:
The Wager – Nay;
All The Colors of the Dark – Okay;
All Systems Red – Yay;
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow – Yay;
Remarkably Bright Creatures – Yay;
Lessons in Chemistry – Yay;
All the Light We Cannot See – Nay;
Sea of Tranquility – Strong yay
