I went to the local library recently to see if they had Blood Meridian and Modern Baptists from my summer reading list. While both of those books were checked out, I did find some other good ones to tide me over until they are returned.

I got:

Villa Incognito by Tom Robbins

Child of God by Cormac McCarthy (while I wait for Blood Meridian)

The Dying Animal by Phillip Roth (not on the original list, but I liked "The Conversion of the Jews" in class, so...)

Plain and Normal by James Wilcox (while I wait for Modern Baptists)

I abandoned Fear of Flying for the moment.  I just can't get into it.  I'm about to do the same with the Kushiel book, because it's way more flowery than is to my taste right now.  I didn't remember them being that way, but I guess they were.  I have plenty of other stuff to read anyway, so it's no loss.
