best novel period? middlemarch. not too easy to identify with.

best you'd want to read outside of the exercise of reading it?

a fan's notes. ford's independance day and the sportswriter. martin amis is the best writer of the last 50 years and it's fun to hate him because he knows it and mailed in two books he got million-dollar advances for.

but money and london fields are just fucking sick.
