Another list that captivates me

I think I like this list better. Here's what I've read:The Old Man and the Sea
The Fixer
To Kill a Mockingbird
Andersonville
Lonesome Dove
The Confessions of Nat Turner
A Confederacy of Dunces
Breathing Lessons! Yes! (although not her best)
Thousand Acres
Empire Falls
Shipping News
The Stone Diaries
Of course I'm happier because it's a better mix of male and female authors.
Gail, try Carol Shields. The Stone Diaries was really very interesting.

And as soon as she said that, I thought, what a great idea!
So, because we don't have enough of a list to wade thru with TIME's selection, I thought I'd post this here to get a conversation started about another.
What I've read:
Oscar Wao
The Road
Middlesex
Empire Falls
The Hours
American Pastoral
The Color Purple
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Old Man and the Sea
Interesting that Updike makes appearances on both lists as do a few others (Toni Morrison).
Beth and Meg - I was pumped to see Anne Tyler on here!! Breathing Lessons is still one I need to tackle - it's on the shelf though!!
