Solenoid is still on my wish list after your recommendation.

I wonder if you'd enjoy Tito Perdue, I've found his books great.

"Philip" is my favourite, but "Lee" is his best known and easiest to find.

I also read 2666 this year, and it’s among my favourite books. So, so brilliant!

2666 is one of the best books I’ve ever read. But I could not get into The Savage Detectives. I will have to give it another chance. I’ve not yet scratched the surface of Cormac McCarthy, but I will have to do so. I’ve seen references to Solenoid. This review makes me want to read it. I had an Amazon review of 2666, which I was going to clip in here, but I can’t seem to find it. Maybe because I’m doing this on my phone. I will send it to you if I can find it next time I’m at my computer.

The Savage Detectives captured a lot of my thoughts and feelings when I was the same age as the characters.
