'Tis a walking definition of "eclectic," for better AND worse. There's some great writing and some godawful writing (c'mon, Dan Brown? Infuriatingly unreadable -- possibly the stupidest plots known to man!).
But some of my off-beaten-path faves -- A Suitable Boy, plus anything by Rushdie (but I like The Moor's Last Sigh much better than MChildren).
A lot there from "the Canon" -- stuff you'd only read under duress, or on the proverbial desert island -- fucking Hardy??
But including Catch 22 means all the dubious choices are forgiven!
BTW -- happy birthday! (Seeing you mentioned on my LJ-thing intrigued me, so I read your User Info -- which is the best-written one I've seen in a long while...and we have some great mutual friends!)
