Neuromance didn't surprise me much. Snow Crash - wtf? Kazuo Ishiguro's
latest novel? McEwan's Atonement? And seriously, The Corrections???
Others would likely argue with my list, also - I wouldn't have necessarily
thought of The Moviegoer, but seeing it doesn't rise the hackles as much as
seeing Updike there.

Peace,

Mark
