Brian J. Dolan
I keep a pretty extensive list of books to read. It’s a mix of things I hear about, titles from the MLA top 100 novels, and a few from On Writing by Stephen King.
Orbital by Samantha Harvey on my list after hearing about its Booker Prize nomination and listening to the author on NPR.
From the MLA list I’m looking at Sons and Lovers because I’ve never read Lawrence and Tender is the Night because I love F. Scott Fitzgerald.
A few from On Writing include Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates, Atonement by Ian McEwan, and A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flanders O’Connor.
There are some authors I’d like to read more of: Jeanine Cummins (American Dirt), Patrick O’Brian (Master and Commander), William Faulkner (As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury) Paulo Coehlo (The Alchemist), Ann Patchett (Commonwealth, The Magician’s Assistant), Philip Roth (The Plot Against America, Indignation).
