[James Kyllo]

I'm another fan of "Life - A User's Manual" although I felt throughout that
I was missing something by reading it in English, not that the translation
is bad, but I had the impression that there were a lot of secondary things
(puns, anagrams, double meanings) missing.

I'd also encourage anybody to read Canetti's Auto-Da-Fe imho the best novel
that Gaddis or Pynchon didn't write.

Some others so far unmentioned:

Machado de Assis - Philosopher Or Dog
John Dos Passos - several but especially USA
Tibor Fischer - first 3 but especially  The Thought Gang
Arthur Nersesian - The Fuck-Up
Alfredo Vea Jr - The Silver Cloud Cafe

best
