Besides Pynchon and McCarthy, which author makes you excited when you hear they have a new book coming out?

Don't say Tao Lin, you trolls. Nobody actually likes that hack's garbage.

Looking forward to WIlliam H. Gass' new novel, even though I haven't read a whole lot of his stuff.
Fiction-wise there really isn't a whole lot for me though. As for philosophy/critical theory/scholarly work, there's a lot.

Novels can generally suck dick, in my opinion.

But anything by Umberto Eco is personally anticipated.
