But you turned me on to the more difficult foreign authors, whose stories are more complicated, the characters more alive, their names and places impossible to pronounce, they're mostly available at bookstores and libraries, and I generally like them better now (except for Doss) than the new book shelf at the grocery store.


PS When you get a chance, make another list of your favorite foreign authors. Some are now my favorites, but can't remember all you've mentioned.
