Feel free to warn me off any of these, if necessary. You'd save me time and money.

All of these that I've read are worth reading.

Well, you've just increased MY buy/borrow list by two.

Ender's Shadow was quite enjoyable, I recommend it for anyone who enjoyed Ender's Game. Then again, I'm always fascinated by a story told from a new perspective.

Which two?

The Best of Roald Dahl and The Annotated Lolita, neither of which I was aware of until I saw your list.

Glad to see A Confederacy of Dunces.

I just came over here to suggest The Wind up Bird Chronicle only to find that it's here. If you like it, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is also very good.
