Bri - shame you didn't like Seamus Heaney - I am now on a mission to change your mind with a resurrection of the poetry thread

Kipling
Yeats
Shaw
Mann
O Neil
Hesse (one novel, to impress a boy - it worked)
Eliot
Faukner
Russell
Hemingway
Camus (again, one novel - see above)
Steinbeck
Beckett
Bellow
Golding
Heaney
Naipaul
Pinter

And very few of them for the reasons they won! I do better with the poets and playwrights than the novelists - I really should try to improve my reading list.

I would recommend Gabriel Garcia Marquez to anyone who really enjoys reading. The writing is as rich and dense and savoury sweet as duck in black cherry sauce
