Just trying to do a bit of record keeping, for archaeological purposes. The writers who I'm reading / are affecting me right now:
Jonathan Ames - Wake Up, Sir!, You Were Never Really Here, I Pass Like the Night, and I Love Your More Than You Know (Essays)
Mike Mignola - Hellboy, Lord Baltimore, B.P.R.D.
David Foster Wallace - Consider the Lobster (Essays/Articles), Infinite Jest (only the first 100 pages so far though they might as well be 400)
Thomas Pynchon - Inherent Vice, Bleeding Edge, The Crying of Lot 49
P.G. Wodehouse - Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves!
Mohsin Hamid - Exit West
Denis Johnson - Train Dreams, The Largesse of the Sea Maiden, Nobody Move (from earlier: Laughing Monsters, Tree of Smoke, Jesus' Son)
Laird Barron - The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All, The Croning, Blood Standard
Adrian McKinty - Dead I May Well Be
Kazuo Ishiguro - The Buried Giant (from earlier: Remains of the Day)
There are several more I'm forgetting right now... will update later.
