Interesting mix. I know I've read Maupin and Fannie Flagg. Never heard of the one born on my actual birthday. -- (link) - Meg Jan 13, 13:55 1
- I've read Carl Bernstein. Speaking of Fannie Flagg, I think I'll finally get around to trying fried green tomatoes (the dish) this year -- nm - crash davis Jan 13, 14:10

I get Don Winslow, crime writer cartel series and some detective series ,I can live with that. First one to pop up. -- nm* - zeitgeist Jan 13, 13:39 3
- !!! One of my favorite authors -- nm - JD Jan 13, 13:40 2
  - Cool, I hope that means its better than pulp fiction -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 13, 13:43 1
    - My suggestion is to start with the Cartel stuff. ummmmmm.....though depending on definition might be a bit pulpy? IMO still worth the read -- nm - JD Jan 13, 13:45
Jeff Vandermeer for me. I've already read multiple books of his, so it would work. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 13, 13:34
Chuck Klosterman - okay, okay. In some ways my life was unchanged and yet would never be the same again. -- nm - rollo Jan 13, 13:21 2
- also Joe Hill, Wil Wheaton -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 14:01
- 👍 -- nm - crash davis Jan 13, 13:30
John Green would probably be the option for me -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 13, 13:20
Jonathan Safran Foer -- nm - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 13, 13:15
