A fine list, though I observe that Pynchon has, for me at least, declined in quality as he ages. On the other hand, Umberto Eco's works have continued to shine. Replace Pynchon, reluctantly and with heavy heart, with Eco for me.
Heresy! I cannot accept this.

Other authors besides He Who Did Not Scribe The Letters Of Wanda Tinasky After All whose stuff I eagerly anticipate the discovery of in the bookstore:

Peter Carey
W.G. Sebold (but he's dead)
Paul Fussell (last one was a stinker, though)
Charles Portis
Elaine Pagels
Alan Furst
Rick Bass

Surely I'm missing someone obvious.

In other news, I'm only 20% lazy. 96% of people are lazier than me, and only 2% of people are less lazy. Someone be ready to catch my SO when I tell her this.
