Please remove Palahniuk from the list.

Replace with Salman Rushdie, and ALL of his books.

Aristophanes - Birds
Faulkner - Sanctuary
Sir Walter Scott - Quentin Durward
Steinbeck - In Dubious Battle

Ugh. I read the entire Heart of Midlothian by Scott. It was good sure. But DAMN. No more of his stuff for me I fear.

And Palahniuk STAYS!!!
I wanted to read him before. But then I saw a post of this huge package and letter he sent to some fan who sent HIM a letter and it was really nifty. So.. yeah.
