Book recs

In case anyone's interested, and because I might as well make the Note to Self here as anywhere else, this is the list of book recs my last post prompted:

• The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
• The World According To Garp by John Irving
• The Shrimp and the Anemone by L.P. Hartley
• Prisoner's Dilemma by Richard Powers
• Across the Nightingale Floor and Grass for his Pillow by Lian Hearn
• Baudolino by Umberto Eco

Offers of loans of any of these (apart from Garp, which I think I've got) will be gratefully accepted ;-)
