Go for Jeffrey Eugenides. I've wanted to read his stuff. :p
How about Bret Easton Ellis instead of those two?
*grins Scheherazadishly*
Aww heck.
I think I should nominate Eugenides because grace picked him first, but then again Bret Easton Ellis ias good too........
Aww, well I don't want to cause a headache. Just thought if I had to go out and buy another book when I have about twelve I need to read - I would choose his is all.

Guess that's just me then sorry :lol:
Err, Scher, I would like to change my second nomination, if that's possible, please.
I somehow feel that I should bring in a writer (and winner of the Nobel prize) from my country to draw attention to this corner of the literary world :D
Given that his autobiography has just been published and largely discussed in Germany, I thought it might be interesting to read one of his works...
Thus my nominations would be
Salman Rushdie and Günter Grass
Jeffrey Eugenides
Not at all... It was not you, Grace! ;)Quote:
