The ten books you most want to read, given what you've read

[mal4mac]

What are the ten books you most fancy reading, given the book(s) you have already read by an author. Give the book that was the biggest influence on your decision, with an etc if you have read more than one work by the author, e.g., "War & Peace etc. -> Anna Karenina, Tolstoy". Note I've read all Tolstoy's major works, so he does not make the list, same for Dickens. For me, in the order from "most fancy" to "least fancy", though all "really fancy":

Lord Jim etc. -> Nostromo, Conrad
Tess etc. -> The Well Beloved, Hardy
An Artist of the Floating World etc. -> When we were orphans, Kazuo Ishiguro.
The Family Moskat etc. -> The Magician of Lublin, Isaac Bashevis Singer
The Magic Mountain etc -> Felix Krull Confidence Trickster, Mann
Nemesis etc. -> Zukerman trilogy, Roth
Collected short stories -> Wise Blood, Flannery o Connor
The Collector etc. -> The Magus Fowles
Kim etc. - > The Jungle Books, Kipling
Winterson, autobiography etc. -> Oranges are not the only fruit

The Jungle Books --> Kim, Rudyard Kipling
The Secret Agent --> Nostromo, Joseph Conrad
Pride and Prejudice --> Emma, Jane Austen
Author, Author! --> A Man of Parts, David Lodge
Tess of the d'Urbervilles --> Far From the Madding Crowd, Thomas Hardy
New Grub Street --> The Odd Women, George Gissing
Lonesome Dove --> Leaving Cheyenne, Larry McMurtry
Great Expectations --> Bleak House, Charles Dickens
London Fields --> Money, Kingsley Amis
Scoop --> A Handful of Dust, Evelyn Waugh

Thanks for the response Kev. I must give Larry McMurtry a try, I've only encountered the film adaptations of his work. All your other authors are high on my longer "must read again" list...

On the left-hand side are the books I've read already.

Ulysses -> Finnegans Wake, Joyce
Snow Country -> Palm-of-the-Hand Stories, Kawabata
Pride and Prejudice, etc. -> Persuasion, Austen
Brideshead Revisited -> Sword of Honour trilogy, Waugh
Tess of the D'Urbervilles -> Jude the Obscure, Hardy
Middlemarch -> Daniel Deronda
To The Lighthouse, etc. -> The Waves, Woolf
A Passage to India -> Howard's End, Forster
Anna Karenina, etc. -> Hadji Murad, Tolstoy
Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson -> Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

But except for the first three, I'm not actually too excited about these. I'm more interested in authors I have yet to read: Proust, Marquez, and Cervantes.
