I haven't done a poll in a while, and kind of miss them.
I'm going to Europe and am obsessing over which books to bring. I'll only be gone ten days, so anticipate bringing 4 or so, and probably I'll only be busy doing Europy things and will finish two at most, right?
Anyway... vote.

Joy Williams, Montemarano, and Winterson.
paula, I'm really happy to see you vote Montemarano. "If the Sky Falls" is one of my all-time favorite story collections, and I've been beginning to feel like his only fan. Nobody ever seems to talk about him...
If The Sky Falls is a beautiful book. He's so underread, of that's a word.
I studied with Joy Williams. She's a beautiful writer. I read that Winterson book eons ago, but she's sort of interesting.
I still don't really understand Breece D'J Pancake's name.
I could only recommend Winterson's book because I don't know the others and I love everything she writes. If you're looking for other suggestions I can recommend Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine, Joyce Carol Oates Dear Husband and Anne Michael's Fugitive Pieces (which you've probably already read).
