Reading recommendations

There are 8 bookcases in my apartment, overflowing with books. I’ve read most of them.

There’s a tottering stack of unread novels and biographies beside my bed. Ahab’s Wife, Moby Dick, Girl With A Pearl Earring, The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton, Natural-Born Cyborgs, The Trust, America’s First Multimillionaire, The Red Dancer, ….. Last night I wasn’t in the mood to read any of them.

I’m looking for some fresh story ideas. What are some of your favorite books? Have you read something that stayed with you for a long time? What was it? What authors do you cherish?

I desperately need reading suggestions!
