I've into Lionel Shriver's books recently, had read We Need To Talk About Kevin years ago. Now going through my local library's collection, I've read so far Should we stay or should we go and Standing Chandelier, now currently reading The motion of the body through space.

Who else has read a lot by her and what would you recommend? I don't know how many more the library has or that I can order in, but I can ask.

The Mandibles! One of the best dystopian novels I've ever read.

I know the library has this one, but I'll admit to being a little daunted by the size of it.

Not really answering your question (sorry) as I've only read a couple of her books. However I went to an author talk at a book festival with her years ago and she was outstanding at being careful and respectful when answering questions from the audience. She took everyone seriously and gave really interesting answers. I'd been put off author talks by Will Self and she restored my faith.
