I was on a Tom Wolfe and Don DeLillo kick this year. I've always been a fan of Wolfe; after reading Underworld, I became interested in DeLillo's post-Modern style.
I read this year's Pultizer winner for Fiction, Paul Harding's Tinkers, and this year's National Book Award winner for Fiction, Jaimy Gordon's Lord of Misrule, not long after they were announced as the winners.
I plan to read at least 13 books in 2011. David Foster Wallace's last novel The Pale King will be released in April. I plan to read it as soon as it comes out.
