    Hi, I was looking at your shelf and reading your profile. Since we have some books in common, I would like to make a recommendation. (I normally don't make suggestions on the internet because it is very hard to type a suggestion to another person without sounding condescending, which is really not where I'm coming from so with that being said...)

    If you think Palanhiuk is overrated, you should try reading something by Tom Spanbauer. Spanbauer teaches writing, and Palanhiuk is a student of Spanbauer's method.

    I think Spanbauer is a gifted storyteller and deserves the praise that is reserved for his students. Given your favorite authors, you might be pleasantly surprised and have a new author to add to that list.

    Your shelf makes me smile. I'm always encouraged to find fellow Flannery fans out there. (That was a lot of unintentional alliteration.) I'm just now getting into Carson McCullers... I feel like I've been depriving myself for years.
