Some of my favorite authors are Steinbeck, Joyce Carol Oates, Wally Lamb, Donna Tartt. Some of my favorite books, The Signature of All Things, Olive Kitteridge, Gone Girl, Dreamland, Interview With the Vampire. I’m currently reading Eleanor Oliphant is Fine. It’s the first book in a VERY long time that I’ve stuck with and am enjoying. Lately I seem to be glued to my iPad once I get in bed instead of a book. Your suggestions for similar books/authors would be appreciated!

Since you liked Olive Kitterdige, have you read the Lucy Barton series by Elizabeth Strout? My favourites are Lucy by the Sea and Anything is Possible but they are all good
I also really like Wally Lamb and Donna Tartt. Here are a few that won’t get out of my head.
Snow Falling on Cedars
The Collected Regrets of Clover
The Shipping News
The Night Watchman
Swamplandia!
And because I haven’t seen it recommended in a while Lonesome Dove.
