I've also been eyeing DFW's "Infinite Jest," but that would take serious dedication. Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a possibility. I have some intense Russians on my shelf, but just now doesn't seem like the time for that. Could work on my Updike by moving onto "Rabbit is Rich." Thinking about maybe a Marquez too.
If anyone has recommendations, I'll take them.

I just finished Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being." It was a pretty quick read and thought-provoking, too, which is always nice. Good luck reading!
Thanks. I've always been intrigued by that one, if only for the title... I'll look into it. :)
I didn't get far in GG&S; seemed vapid. One of those excellent pamphlet sized ideas expanded to book size to make a million on Oprah's list, and I'm sure it has.
Just read a few reviews. Not first, but instead.
