I listened to this on audio last year and was pretty disappointed in it. The idea sounded fun and interesting, but the execution was (to me) a rambling, pointless mess. Your mileage may vary.
I just love Pelecanos! If you like things fairly gritty and realistic as opposed to happily-ever-after, I recommend you try his quartet featuring Derek Strange, a PI in Washington, DC. The first book is Right As Rain. More recently, he has written a string of standalone novels, my favorite of which is last year's The Turnaround.
I think the first book of Munro's that I read was Lives of Girls and Women. That's a great place to start. Enjoy!
And An Invisible Sign of My Own by Aimee Bender
Try reading Jonathan Carroll, especially White Apples. You might also like The Echo Maker by Richard Powers.
A Prayer for Owen Meany is probably my favorite Irving book. I would also recommend The Cider House Rules, and A Son of the Circus is pretty interesting too.
I've read a lot of her books, though none recently. You might also consider reading "Memoirs of a Survivor," which, if I recall correctly, may be a bit more accessible than "Briefing."
What can you tell me about....?
