Yules' Good Reads

I just finished Kate Atkinson's Case Histories, I thought it was quite good (if rather depressing). While I haven't even bothered with Infinite Jest, I thought DFW's Interviews with Hideous Men was pretty good--the short story format enforces some much-needed discipline. And if I may be allowed to plug a fellow Albanian, Ismail Kadare's The Successor is worth checking out (though I don't know if it's out in paperback yet).
