I find myself addicted to American authors, with Steinbeck and Annie Proulx among my favourites.
Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury was one of the most astonishing books I've ever read... in fact I re-read it immediately because I wasn't sure I got it the first time. Great if you like sentences that last for a whole page... challenging!!!

After I read Blood Meridian I couldn't stop thinking about it for two weeks.
I also am a fan of Steinbeck, East of Eden is great.
I have just read a couple of A.B.Guthrie novels, The Big Sky, and The Way West. Similar to Blood Meridian, just less violence. Very well written.
It seems I am attracted to books that involve long journeys.
