I'm right with you up to #9 & #10. Must be cause we're both Texans. And it was a Great Rosebowl!!

David James Duncan wrote "The Brothers K" and "The River Why." The former is highly recommended (especially if you like baseball, but even if you don't). The latter was a bit more challenging but ultimately rewarding. The author is an academic lefty moonbat, but I wouldn't hold that against him, at least with The Brothers K.
