This post on Melville House's website really got me to thinking about my reading choices as of late. I read a couple of Pynchon's in a row and then moved on to a Vollmann. My brain was foggy and muddled after all that. I really needed some fresh air. So, I chose Hans Fallada's Little Man, What Now?.
It was exactly what I needed. Simple, concise, and full of relatable characters. So, what's your favorite readable author and/or books? In stormy seas, who do you call upon to clear the skies?
