The Early Stories by John Updike
Updike writes some really gorgeous sentences: "He felt his slender height, encased in his pin-striped English suit, unfold like an elegant and surprising weapon."
Although my taste usually runs to the more "experimental" (whatever that might mean), I have always loved Updike's insightfulness about the confusing chains of emotion that run through even the most everyday experience.
