Next book on the to read list is 'All the Pretty Horses'. First I will read- is it one of his better ones?
Read the first two of the (original) series. I like it but when I recommended it to a mate he couldn't finish it citing the episodic nature of the book and inability to empathise with the characters. I can see his point but find the series (so far) unique to anything else.
Ordered it today along with 'Don Quixote', 'The Rights of Man', 'Second Foundation' and 'Vagabonding'. Thanks to everyone who brought it to my attention sounds incredible.
Anyway on topic I'm currently reading 'The Diary of a Madman and selected stories by Nikolay Gogol. Awesome so far. Never liked short stories before reading two of Tolstoys and need to make up for lost time.
