How is O'Connor? Seems like I remember liking him ages ago in uni. Kind of a Faulkner/McCarthy vibe iirc?
No need to deride your impulses when they lead to cheap purchases that bring you happiness. If it weren't for books, I would have gone insane long ago. Nice picks.
What Pynchon would you recommend for a newcomer to his work?
