hey, I remember that book, my uni had one of those "bring your excess books here and strangers can pick them up for free" and I got it from there. was a lot like goodfellas in novel form, haven't read much else from him though.

I've read a few of bellow's books but I really can't make any expert statements about them, I'm quite indifferent about his works. he's not a bad writer but it's just not my cup of tea.

Read Bellow's novella Seize the Day and decide for yourself. If you don't like that, skip the rest without a second thought.

I've got the Dean's December at home I picked up from Goodwill, but it seems dry as fuck. And by dry I mean really unimportant.

I liked Ragtime by Doctorow. It's historical fiction, but an interesting take on the genre.
