If you like post modernist fiction, then you might enjoy Thomas Pynchon.
I just purchased "Against The Day," a massive tome of a novel, one that I carried with me - in trade paper, thank God! - to Peru. It's good to replace this large brick with something that is weightless.
My hardback, the size of two large bricks, is protected in mylar and is still in a climate-controlled storage in the United States.
I highly recommend Pynchon.
If you have a current photo of him, please feel free to attach it to this thread.
