OK, I'll check that out. I've read Doctorow before, his seminal work, which I can't remember the name of...is it Ragtime? It was great anway.

I found the opening pages of Cormac McCarthy's Road too excruciatingly depressing, although I am a fan of the film version.

John Irving isn't an author I'm familiar with. I'll check him out.

Thanks for the suggestions.
