Random short stories:
Sonny's Blues, James Baldwin
Paul's Case, Willa Cather
Some Peter Taylor, whom I don't recommend. Dullish.

I just started 2666 because I'm nearing the end of The Savage Detectives. But I really like Bolano's work so far.

I'm just about finished with Labyrinths. I really like it a lot, and now I need to track down more Borges.
Although I will admit that some of the essays and parables drag a bit. I prefer his short stories.

finishing up inherent vice, then to start chronic city.
I was wearing a Far Side t-shirt when he came over. "I bet you didn't think I was the sort of person who wore t-shirts," I told him. (Our school had a dress code.) "I have three."

Woody Allen's Side Effects
also Heller's Something Happened but having read stuff from both before it and after which is very similar (Cheever, Americana, etc.) makes it kind of/more boring.
