while his search. |

Toni Morrison: 'Song of Solomon'
Toni Morrison: 'SULA' |
(Picador; ISBN 0-330-30502-6)
(Signet (Penguin Group); ISBN 0-451-18240-5) |
| The 'Song of Solomon' was the first novel from Toni Morrison I read and which let
me acquire a taste for it. 'SULA' was even so pleasant to read. |

| Charlotte Brontë: 'Jane Eyre' |
(Penguin; ISBN 0-14-025412-9) |
| Well known... |
| |
John Irving: 'The Cider House Rules'
John Irving: 'The World According to Garp'
John Irving: 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' |
(Corgi Books; ISBN 0-552-12724-8)
(Ballantine Books; ISBN 0-345-36676-X)
(Corgi Books; ISBN 0-552-13539-9) |
| Irving and his idiosyncratic way to call a spade a spade one should like. I am just
as well fascinated by him as confused. Possibly this is exactly what appeals to me. |
