Like Malign, I, too, look to the Nobel Prize list for authors I 
haven't read yet; I had the same experience he describes, reading 
Canetti's Crowds and Power after he got the Prize.  That's also how I 
stumbled onto Jose Saramago last year -- I  enjoyed reading The 
Gospel According to Jesus Christ, The History of the Siege of Lisbon, 
and Blindness. I'd rank them in that order, if somebody put a gun to 
my head and forced me to rank them.
