My latest 'thing' to keep me reading books by authors I'm not familiar with is to work my way through the alphabet by author's surname. I'm up to O and stuck.
It ideally has to be someone I haven't read before, so Maggie O'Farrell, George Orwell and Michael Ondaatje are out. Any ideas?
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Ben Okri, The Famished Road. Would anyone recommend it?
