I also really love anything written by David Sedaris.
June 4, 2014 at 9:52 pm #2614Sam ElliottParticipantYou should definitely read some Fyodor Dostoyevsky, if you haven’t already. Tolstoy is dazzling, but Dostoyevsky is one of the few authors who can comprehend almost every aspect of human thought and emotion
June 4, 2014 at 9:53 pm #2615Sam ElliottParticipantMartin Eden is another very underrated author
