Does anyone read Jane Smiley or Joyce Carol Oates? I recently read a book by Ronlyn Dominque called "The Mercy of Thin Air"---------a very interesting,good read. My goal before I go to the "deep blue yonder" is to read as many of the classics and Pulitizer prize winners as possible. I have a good start on the Pulitizer ones. I also want to read the Tolkien books.
