Anything by George Saunders

Anything by Tobias Wolff

'High Rise' by JG Ballard. "Later, as he sat on his balcony eating the dog, Dr Robert Laing
reflected on the unusual events that had taken place within this huge
apartment building during the previous three months.
" That's the opening line!

Oh, and if I can convince you of anything please let it be that the Larry McMurtry westerns in the Lonesome Dove series are so awsomely good that you will figuratively shit yourself when you read them.

It's about time I re-read High Rise, I'll take this opportunity to do so. It's a great first line, I can think of few better.
