I'm new to lit, how come only one guy here so far seems to have any Shakespeare? I understand you might take the view he is best in performance, but clearly most of you are serious readers - it would be like listening seriously to classical music but never reading the score..

out of the ones that I have read,
Stoner
Augustus
The Post-office Girl
Life and Fate
Fear: A Novel of WW1
Warlock

however even the books I didn't really enjoy had at least some kind of interesting or historic quality, like Talk (very interesting) or Mouchette.

It's an excellent space reader, with good commentary and selections. Just note that space doesn't necessarily mean outer space, and can just refer to space in a room or something. I'd recommend it if you want to learn more about that area in philosophy. I read it in a class when I was a student.
