Harry Potter HBP - JK Richerthanbillgates
Deception Point - Dan Brown's pre-Robert Langdon book
re-read A Man In Full - Tom Wolfe
A Lesson Before Dying - Ernest Gaines
Oh Pure And Radiant Heart - Lydia Millet
I can't recommend Millet enough. She wrote mostly quirky small books up until "Oh Pure..", "Omnivores", "Everyone's Pretty", "My Happy Life", and my favorite title, "George Bush, Dark Prince of Love".
She mostly writes for environmental mags, but after grad school at Duke, she started out as a copy editor....
At Hustler.
I e-mailed her after reading "My Happy Life" and to my surprise, she answered and has since been very gracious in discussing her books.
