Need something to read.  Preferably a novel.  Anyone have any suggestions? Not into reading any Post-Modernist stuff that comes across as a pale imitation of TRP.  Never read DeLillo.  Is he worth reading?  If so, what?  Is Ulysses really worth reading?  Don't really feel like plowing through Neal Stephenson.  Also considering either Lolita or "Man in the High Castle" by Philip Dick.  I'm floundering here.

This year's reading list, so far:

The Brothers Karamazov (re-read)
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch -- Philip Dick
Gravity's Rainbow
The Small Back Room -- Nigel Balchin
The Female Man -- Joanna Russ
Vineland
Mason & Dixon
Crying of Lot 49 (re-read)
V (re-read)
Pale Fire
Cloud Atlas 
The Golden Notebook (re-read)

Liked all of these.
