Starting Underworld by Don DeLillo. I liked his White Noise, which is on all the big lists. Underworld got a Pulitzer nomination.

The Passion by Jeanette Winterson. I gave a four-star rating to her "Written on the Body" which I read five years ago.

I just watched The Thin Man as part of my 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die project! I really liked it. I'm thinking of reading the Dashiell Hammett books soon now.

Life: A User's Manual by Georges Perec.
This is already my fourth Boxall list novel by a French author this year and I plan to read four more by year's end. Wish I could read French.
