If anyone out there read my previous post re: fall reading, I needed someone good and dead to read before Lorrie Moore– and I just got the answer from Lorrie Moore herself.

David Copperfield, Charles Dickens

2666, Bolano

Portrait of a Lady, Henry James

Olive Kittredge, Elizabeth Strout

A Gate at the Stairs, Lorrie Moore

* I like to alternate dead + living authors so I will need something to please the Eng. Lit. major in me to go between Strout and Moore. Suggestions???
