Good Fiction
Can anyone recommend any good fiction? I hope to have more time to read once school is behind me, so I'm starting to compile a "to read" list. Currently, I'm making my way through "Master of the Senate," an LBJ biography (non-fiction, of course), and I'm thinking about Saul Bellow's "Herzog" and Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow."

ha...you still have to finish the bar exam, so I wouldn't warm up your library card just yet.
At any rate, some recently read books I would suggest are "Empire Falls" or "The Confessions of Max Tivoli" but I know you don't care much for that kind of fiction (poignant memoir-like pieces), nor would you enjoy "Balzac and the little Chinese Seamstress" (Oprah Book Club material, yet with some interesting historical insights), David Liss's "The Coffee Trader" (see id.), but maybe "Everything is Illuminated" (hilarious) or Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum" (pseudo-intellectual and entertaining in a Da Vinci Code kind of way), and I would definitely suggest that you read "Confessions of a dangerous mind" which counts as half fiction, half truth.
