I have to say that I am completely stopped up at A Confederacy of Dunces, great read but also feels like my brain is walking through mud. It has been a crazy March but I plan on re-dedicating myself to the list in April. Richard Price's Lush Life was finished this past weekend. I have been a fan of his for a while and can say that he met all expectations.

Are you looking for a Z author?? Go for Zusak. I am the messenger is a fantastic read as well as the Book Thief. I think they are both on my "take to a deserted island" list.

Confederacy of Dunces is one of my favorite books of all time - but my friend hated it. People love it or hate it, it seems :) It's Billy Bob Thornton's favorite book, for what that's worth!
