Seeing that a lot of what has been suggested is books by male authors (that's ok, that is, really), I'd like to throw in a couple of books written by women in the mix. Once again, I'd like to clarify that these are books I like and happen to be written by women, before I start some kind of wildfire.

Zadie Smith - White Teeth

Doris Lessing - The Golden Notebook

There are more books I'd love to discuss, but these two are probably what I want to discuss most.

That our selection is of primarily male authorship is unintentional :) I can add those to the list, no problem. Do you want to be added to the shoutout list?

Yeah, I understand completely. I'll clarify once again that I didn't mean to imply any sinister workings :).

I'd love to be in the shoutout list, and would love to contribute. I missed the first four parts of 2666, and would've enjoyed being a part of this had that not been the case.

Great! I'll add you to the list.
