Thanks for this! I've been trying to expand my reading list and particularly to add more quality contemporary authors to it. It's often so hard to sift through all that literature that hasn't yet taken the great standardized test of time -- when I try on my own, I end up feeling frustrated & overwhelmed. This list is a great help.
To it I'd add Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything is Illuminated, which is everything people say it is, and Michael Cunningham's The Hours, which I once repudiated in an anti-postmodern phase but have since come back to as a book that yields more about structure, character and craft each time I read it.
