What an awesome reading list; looking forward to the reviews. :-)
Am especially curious how your Texan soul will receive Naipaul! I didn't get to read much of him in college but I'm sure our friend AS would engage you on his work.
I was proud of this list.
And I haven't read Naipaul yet either, though I'm interested. I nearly read A Bend in the River a couple of years ago but didn't. I'll let you know what I think.
