Re: A lifetime of must reads
A couple of relatively recently published books/authors (compared to so many of the "classics") that I like to recommend:
Second Jose Saramago, but not so much the earlier choice, I think I'd begin with "The History of the Siege of Lisbon" or "Balthusar and Blimunda," both masterpieces, imo.
I like Eco as well, but I think "The Island of the Day Before" is his best.
And I didn't see a Roth title-- I thought "American Pastoral" was a masterpiece.
