    Go for Jeffrey Eugenides. I've wanted to read his stuff.

    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
    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
