the first I've read of his but will definitely seek out more.
I went from 'Everything...' to his next novel where he does some kind of schtick by writing himself as a fictional person traveling back to his grandparent's home village in Ukraine. Was quite disappointed.

What are the best Proulx books? I have Shipping Forecast on my to-do list, but would be happy to re-shuffle my priorities a bit.

My reading has more or less ground to a halt recently but I'm really enjoying Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. It sort of reads like a mix between Kurt Vonnegut and Bohumil Hrabal. Very funny whilst being incredibly melancholic. It's the first I've read of his but will definitely seek out more.
